So does that mean someone else can buy them and make new games with them? Earthworm Jim was always an entertaining franchise.

Would it kill you to make another Boogerman game? 

I'm kidding.  I would love to see more Earthworm Jim though

Give us a modern Descent....PLEAAASSSEE!!

With modern consoles, and online gaming, it would be a lot cooler this time than the PS1 ports.

There was a kickstarter for a new Descent.  And if Descent was the 6 degree shooter or whatever... there was 2 descent like games on Kickstarter.

Overload I believe is made by the original Descent devs.

I wonder how much some of these would go for?  Millions?

I would also like to see a new Earthworm Jim with all hand drawn animations. That would be F'n sweet.

some most definitely will get multi millions per ip but some probably wont even break 100K. there are people who own ip's that they bought for a few hundred-a few thousand dollars just to have it if anyone wanted to make a game off of it.
