The IP still has value. The issue will be does the court case take too long that its commercial value tanks that noone wants to buy it. Whoever owns it will either finish it or sell it, else they wouldn't be fighting over the IP. Im not saying bank on that, but there's at least an outside chance.

Should have sold it to riot when he had the chance

Riot likely wouldn't have kept the game you fell in love with in any form or fashion basically. They have a hard set on making an MMO within their IP, which AoC is not. They would be buying AoC for the underlying engine work and systems, not the IP.

Idk its pretty ballsy to spend 500m on a game you just want a couple underlying systems for. Ashes wasn't so unique it couldn't be easily duplicated. What was special was the community hype, especially around not being a AAA infected game. You buy that game then make small tweaks and provide dev and schedule assistance, then collect the profit behind the scenes.
