They are owned by Hasbro? Why?

Larian Studios is not owned by anyone. The Wizards of the coast team that Larian worked with has been laid off

TSR, which was the company that originally made D&D got bought by Wizards of the Coast, which made Magic the Gathering. Then Wizards got bought by Hasbro.

Every product you love has been acquired by a large company that got bought by a larger company and then turned to shit. Until the government stops blocking mergers and acquisitions, this trend will continue.
