Creator wants to buy the Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion IPs from Disney

Disney is now out of the video game publishing business entirely. When Disney Infinity was cancelled, the company’s Disney Interactive division also closed. In the future, Disney IPs will now be licensed instead.
In comes Ron Gilbert, the designer/creator of Monkey Island as well as Maniac Mansion. On Twitter, he expressed interest in buying the Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion IPs.
He said:
Dear @Disney, now that you're not making games, please sell me my Monkey Island and Mansion Mansion IP. I'll pay real actual money for them.
