Lifthrasil: Well, if you want to hurt the new rights holder, just buy as many copies of the game as you can now, while they are discounted and while the money is still going to 3D-Realms.

And if it later turns out they were just taking some time to evaluate the license(s) and they're not evil, you're still a good guy. It's definitely a win-win situation, maybe even win-win-win.
