Institutional incompetence or some stupid "Disney Vault"-like reason?

Institutional incompetence or some stupid "Disney Vault"-like reason?
- bangonkeyboard 9y agoMaybe, like many others, the sales didn't justify the cost of constantly fixing the apps just to stay in the Red Queen's race of yearly iOS update breakage.
- DoctorNick 9y agoThere have been numerous articles pointing out the similarities between the Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise and Monkey Island. Perhaps they felt they didn't benefit from the comparison.
- egypturnash 9y agoBoth PotC and Monkey Island draw heavy inspiration from Tim Powers' book "On Stranger Tides". If you loved either of those then maybe go read it. (I can't be arsed to find a citation for it but I've seen either Ron Gilbert or Tim Schaefer explicitly mention OST as an inspiration for Monkey Island, and Disney went so far as to loosely adapt it for the fourth PotC film.)
- molmalo 9y agoDisney will close the MI door and lose the key, to never look back. They don't want it to compete with their main pirate-themed franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean. But I would love if they called Ron, and in some future movie, they introduced a young pirate-wannabe, Guybrush. That would be great, and would put in good use their MI IP. And maybe then, we would get a new game.
