Why the hell can we buy the Lynch movie, and that documentary about the earlier Dune production then? Are you saying Universal actually gave Herbert's estate enough of a pile of cash to keep that thing out? What, is Universal's "we don't give a shit" money more than GOG's "let's talk" money?I dream that when new Dune movie is out that GoG will use the newfound interest in the setting to release all of the old Dune games.
Herbert's estate owns the old games, as the rights went to them after the license ran out, and they told GOG that they don't want Dune, Dune 2 etc to be rereleased saying "if it's old, it should stay old"...hilarious how there's been reprints of Herbert's books.
Universal probably still owns the rights to the film.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're hoping that new film would get new game made, and that rereleasing old games would affect the sales or something.
