license monkey island/maniac mansion

[JPJF]

Have you ever ask Disney/Lucas Arts for the price of the Monkey Island/Maniac Mansion license.

They have said they don't want to sell it. It feels like they bought all this Lucas stuff (Star Wars, etc) and they don't want to sell stuff off until they understand what it all is. My hope is someday they will.

*facepalm* They are sitting on a treasure chest and don't even know it.... Disney....

The real issue for Monkey Island is I don't want to license it, I really want to own it so I can make the game I want to.

That now a game a big company is going to let me make. I guess it's more about control than ownership.

But I think it's more difficult (and expensive) to buy it out than licensing it. What if they would offer to do one game on that license instead of giving you full ownership, would you do it?
