And that's where you'd think wrong.
Just because they developed it doesn't mean they have the rights to the franchise. Which is why (for big-name example) Harmonix made Rock Band instead of continuing with Guitar Hero 3 after they split with Activision ->
Activision owned the product name.
The problem with NoLF is that someone somehow managed to lose track of who owns the name and with that the publishing rights. (Probably a Vivendi-style mess-up when they shuffled from Sierra Entertainment to Vivendi games to Activision etc.)

System Shock 2 was only a mess for System shock 3. The core issue was that the designers and the dev's both wanted to do a third, things got really messed up and then we got Bioshock and Dishonored out of the mess. PCGamer had a three page article about it.

I don't know how it is possible to lose track of a thing such as this. Maybe a visit to a trademark court would give some answers?
I love this franchise, too bad its impossible to buy anywhere.

I hope that both of the NOLF games is brought to Steam. I've played the second game and it's a lot of fun. Funny gags, weird gadgets, nonsensical enemies. Ah, what nostalgia.....

That would be awesome -- don't think I ever did play the sequel, but the first one was a lot of fun.
In the meantime, you can at least upvote them on GOG.com.

With many older games enjoying a renaissance on Steam, this series would be a great addition. I've still got the first one in a box in the cupboard but never did get a hold of the sequel.

I really love this game and I think some of you too. The gameplay was so inventional that many games nowaday don't possess. Question is: Is there any possibility that the series will be revived like Neighbour from hell?
Upvote for the game on GOG.
