    Marcin Paczynski told The Game Business he could “write a book”

    Please do

    He didn’t even know that he owned the rights because this was just a package with his inheritance … we have a lot of stories like that.

    Wow, no wonder the dude wasn’t aware. “Oh, just a box with papers. Meh”

    stories like developers whose physical documentation of IP ownership was torched in a fire

    It’s always interesting to know which games’ rights might seem “completely lost”, just so we can 🏴‍☠️ in peace. Say, wasn’t this strategy something GOG did originally? Just sell and see if the current rights-holder shows up?
