I call this "The curse of Might and Magic". This franchise was established by Jon Van Caneghem who founded New World Computing. The company later got into financial trouble and was absorbed by 3DO. Over time (mainly due to the commercial failure of its console, which came after the acquisition of the M&M property), 3DO started slipping into the hole. It dissolved, and in its fire sale, Ubi purchased the rights to Might and Magic. The rest, as they say, is history...

    So, it's the Hope Diamond of Computer Game IPs?

    They better sell that IP to The Smithsonian.

    BTW what do we have to pay an entry fee to The Smithsonian, and The British Museum is free to anyone that can make it there? Seems like something our taxes should be taking care of.....

    Generally The Smithsonian locations are free to enter. Some parts cost extra like the butterfly room at the natural History one.

    A quick Google says the only one that does cost anything is the Cooper Hewitt in New York.
