Actually, Ron Gilbert was still at LucasArts when DOTT started development, and he talked with Schafer and Grossman about ideas for it. So the game more or less was made with his consent, even if he and Winnick didn't write it themselves.
A Maniac Mansion 3 would be extremely risky then, as not a one of those four is there anymore.
