      He is dead, but his son and another “author” wrote a large amount of sequels, prequels, and spinoffs with the “of Dune” added on to sell hot trash.

      That is directly ripping off his ideas unlike anything Games Workshop could ever do.

        They shat on his ideas lol

        But you can’t say they ripped off his ideas, as the books are technically cannon and direct sequels. Sadly…

          Apparently based on notes Frank left, for all we know his “notes” could have been:

          1.) Write more Dune books. 2.) profit.
