Indeed, the simple fact that this petition is successful is itself proof that the franchise is valuable and should not be given away.
Maybe a better course of action would be to convince Disney to allow a sequel owned by the original author, while retaining future rights.
- toomuchgov 8y agoYes, call the sequel 'Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge'. Just brainstorming, folks.
- jamesrcole 8y agoCopying and pasting what I wrote in another comment, Ron has said "The only way I would or could make another Monkey Island is if I owned the IP." https://grumpygamer.com/if_i_made_another_monkeyisland https://grumpygamer.com/if_i_made_another_monkeyisland (He has also said this in podcasts).
- WorldMaker 8y agoAs an easy counterpoint to this scenario, Tim Schafer and Double Fine talked Disney into letting them revisit/enhance Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, and Full Throttle. Disney has no problem relicensing IP, it just doesn't care to sell it. (IIRC, Tim Schafer has even mentioned they have the option to create sequels in some of the licenses, but they don't have strong ideas for them at the moment.)
