For the people going on and on about Kickstarter and crowd funding, note point #11: "The only way I would or could make another Monkey Island is if I owned the IP"

This seems more like a post to get the masses exited and perhaps help him get a license for or ownership of the Monkey Island franchise.

I hope he's successful, I was a big fan of the first two games (never got to play the 3rd). I'd certainly buy whatever he produced if it inspired the same awe of the prior games.

I do like the idea of starting fresh with a new story, ala The Legend of Gorilla Mountain, or something silly like that. After all, it was the wit of the writers and the artists that really sold the game.

Isn't it actually relatively possible now for him to secure the IP rights from Disney? With LucasArts disbanded, they've made it clear they intend to license the IP to other developers.
