Because big companies don’t like risk. IPs that haven’t sold in a long time have high risk, and IPs that haven’t sold in a long time and didn’t sell well with their last entry are even riskier.
Instead, the company would rather artificially inflate their evaluation with the “possibility of the IP” being counted. Personally, I wish companies were forced to sell IPs that they havent used in a long time, proportional to their known value (basically a number based on stats like the profit gained from sales of released items in that property).
