Major toy-maker Hasbro, which holds rights to Transformers and a ton of other franchises (and lots of toys), has sued Atari over a Dungeons & Dragons licensing deal, where Atari sub-licensed the Dungeons & Dragons game rights to Namco Bandai, without consent from Hasbro (or financial stake). Hasbro has responded by suing Atari for fraud and breach of contract.
Atari has dismissed the allegations, calling them “unfounded”. We’ll see how this one turns out, but it’s clear that there’s another obstacle in getting a D&D game out.
