Earthworm Jim

Please someone do anything with this franchise. I can even tolerate an open world live service game of Earthworm Jim.

Isn't the creator/owner problematic?

Jesus Christ, is there any bit of nostalgia left that's not tainted by those lunatics?

Dunno, but if that's true, then ideally the rights would be bought and used by people who don't suck, or maybe there could be a spiritual successor.
