(LucasArts and not he owns the rights to the series.) Although this is no doubt true, Gilbert has been criticized for using the mystique of the series' titular "Secret" (assuming any secret remains) to stoke fan obsession over the game's "true" third installment, which die-hard fans of Gilbert who disliked the canon sequels can assume the best of when it conveniently has no possibility of being made. Ron Gilbert continues to insist that he has his version of the third game (which he once jokingly or non-jokingly suggested would be called Monkey Island 3b: The Secret Revealed or Your Money Back) mapped out in his head, and that he would be happy to make it, completing his trilogy, if given the opportunity. The fact that LeChuck's eyes glowed at the end of LeChuck's Revenge (no doubt intentionally put there to make a non-insane third game possible), gave the team the opportunity to write off the bizarre ending as the result of a voodoo spell. Although they were aware that Ron Gilbert's revelation at the end of LeChuck's Revenge was meant to be taken at face value, the CMI team concluded that without Gilbert making it, the only appropriate direction for a third Monkey Island game would be for it to continue to take place in the world introduced by the first two games, rather than working under the assumption that Guybrush's anachronistic Caribbean universe was fictional.
