As for Monkey Island, we need to get Ron Gilbert interested in a kickstarter for his original vision of Monkey Island 3. Complete with old graphics and all (I am so tired of hearing about this kickstarter fad, everybody and everything has a kickstarter now and it is all anyone talks about. Maybe it is a good idea, maybe good things will come of this. It just seems everyone has become true believers in this, and it is still too early for anything to have come from any of it).

While that is my dream I don't see that happening under Lucasarts current regime. Ron doesn't own any of the rights to Monkey Island and Lucasarts has a general policy of never selling the rights to any of their properties period.

But yet Tales of Monkey Island exists.

I don't remember all the details behind that project or how it came to be, but from what I remember, Lucasarts had absolutely no creative involvement (other than maybe some overseeing for the sake of quality control) on the game and their name is on the project simply because they own the rights to the franchise. Ron Gilbert and Dave Grossman where both involved on that project too.

I could see it happening again. Especially if it is proven it could be profitable.
