Gaming IP must lose value over time. It's hard to imagine anybody paying very much for the quake 3 IP now since more advanced engines are available for free.

That's not to say they didn't make many $ licensing it back in the early 2000s. That said in the case of this startup the tech itself is probably not where most of the value is.
