Lucasarts revisiting The Dig?
That’s right. The great old classic game, The Dig is not forgotten at all by Lucasarts as many people might think, not even after 12 years. You can tell so from the lawsuit Lucasarts are filing against Digg.com, saying that the name is confusing with their 12 years old point and click adventure game, which was not a big success even. Lucas have also turned down the offer by Digg to trademark it’s name. The funny thing is, Dig.com is a registered domain for Walt Disney Interactive Group, and they had nothing to say about it! I find it awkward Lucas are revisiting the name after 12 years just for the sake of a lawsuit. This is either a UTube inspired similar lawsuit case, and if so, it’s a real shame on Lucas to follow that way just to make few bucks. Who the hell would remember The Dig game today, and instead of searching for it would think there is a domain for it, and that domain is misspelled as Digg.com. The other possibility is that Lucasarts are planning to revisit The Dig again! Since Lucasarts have republished the classic adventure games for sale, said they are getting back to adventure games, even if in 2015, they are probably either considering a second episode, or a movie based on the game. After all, there have been some thoughts about making movie of the game. All in all, it is still very funny how Lucas ignores the customer cries for years, promise only to come back in 2015, when they know many people are going to Digg.com to read about the dozen years old game, yet they still do nothing but file lawsuits about it. More on the news also from International House of Mojo.

Is it just me or is LucasArts basically dangling hope in front of their fans’ eyes and then eating it? “We remember, we know you want it, and so you won’t get it,” they’re saying, and then point to millions of Star Wars fans. “And we’ll be rich anyways.”
