What are people mentioning Piracy for? I am talking about reviving the Games LEGITIMATELY. I am just trying to make a ripple in a stagnant situation like there being no Dune games. I was not 100% sure why beyond certain copyright BS but the fact it just passed into new hands for Movies to be made it would not be impossible for someone like GOG to reach out to whoever they need to in order to sell the Older Games again. After all they would make $$ on it even if only pennies compared to the Movies but there is still potential profit to be made there, so that is what I am appealing to. Not trying to create worthless internet drama & bringing Piracy into the Conversation just smells like a diversion tactic to dissuade the idea. Someone out there has the Company & the $$ to do this but it aint a little guy like me, but we can put out the idea that some out there would buy it.

Maybe one day Herbert's Estate would grant a permission for a re-release of old Dune games. That would also require the permission from remnants of Cryo Interactive (2 games) and Westwood Studios and / or Virgin Games and / or Electronic Arts (several games including Dune 2 port adaptation for Genesis / Megadrive console, that might have some difficulties with SEGA). Too much hassle for slowly dying publisher like EA yet it's possible of course. For now though Legendary Entertainment acquired the rights for film production and television - currently a second movie is on its way; Funcom acquired the rights to produce 3 Dune games - currently a second game Dune: Awakening is nearing its beta.
All we can do, the ordinary people I mean, is wait and hope.
GOG / CD Project top managers almost never (probably never) check these forums.
That was not the conversation you wished for but it's the best I can do.
