Threshold will become famous soon enough
The last time I checked, Skotos owns the DGD license, and they aren't interested in letting anyone use it.

When I inquired about the licensing fee (since Dworkin originally planned it to be a game engine that is licensed - ala Unreal, Quake, etc. but for MUDs), they responded with an answer so absurd it is clear they actually have no intention of licensing it.

The terms were $100,000 up front payment, with annual fees to be negotiated as either a flat fee or a % of sales.

Absurd, eh? Of course, this was back when Skotos was pretty high on themselves and thought they were going to be the next SOE, so maybe they've come back down to Earth after most of their games failed.
