“I’d really love to make Monkey Island 3. Unfortunately, I don’t own the rights to that. That all belongs to LucasArts. Even if I started a Kickstarter and I raised like 30 million dollars, I really don’t think LucasArts would sell it.” - Ron Gilbert

You would think that now is a great time for Monkey Island 3, considering the success of the brand recently. I guess I just don't understand the decision making process in the game industry.
