Personally, the game I run the most is Shadowrun. Managed to transition my DnD group to Pathfinder 2e and it’s great. Pathfinder is DnD but so much better.
My group plays 3.5e and I’ve become That Guy that talks about Pathfinder every session to exactly zero avail 🥲
Classic Pathfinder basically is 3.5e, so I would hope that they would want to switch just to get away from Hasbro. Pathfinder 2e is basically a good version of what D&D5e wants to be, but they didn’t test out the rules well enough to do. It’s fairly simple and easy, without tons of contradictions. D&D3.5 and Pathfinder are great too though, but most modern TTRPG players want the simplicity of the modern systems.
so I would hope that they would want to switch just to get away from Hasbro.
I’ll say this as a relatively newer player, I don’t care about the company that made the game when I’m trying to find something to play. As a player in 2 campaigns and a baby-DM for another, I think the only money I’ve paid that hasbro would get anything from is a Nolzurs mini I bought before I started making my own.
I’m not saying that people shouldn’t look outside of DND for other RPGs, there’s a ton of other great platforms out there, just trying to offer some perspective. I don’t think the average DnD player really gives a crap about Hasbro (again, not saying they shouldn’t care, just that they don’t), let alone have a desire to change platforms based on the manufacturer.
