So, in light of the new Lucasfilm/Disney deal, anyone have any ideas where this might leave the future of things like Monkey Island and Grim Fandango and other LucasArts properties?
I could never imagine Disney embracing them and doing anything with then, thank goodness. But does it mean they are likely to license them out for others to use, like the Monkey Island 1 and 2 SE and Tales of Monkey Island? Or is it more likely this means we'll never see or here from them again?
EDIT: Just remembered the whole Monkey Island/Pirates of the Caribbean connection. The first pirates movie seemed to take at least a few ideas from the game series, so perhaps this means we have some pretty big MI fans on the inside at Disney. Now I am half expecting to see Guybrush Threepwood and Capt. Jack Sparrow team up for swashbuckling silliness in the next PotC film.
Stranger things have happened. Such as Disney buying the rights to make a film adaption of the pirate novel which was the actual inspiration for Ron Gilbert's Monkey Island series, then making it into a fourth PotC film with the book's title as the subtitle. That was weird.
