Or, you know, you could have kept lucasarts around. Pretty sure they were still a thing and pretty well respected at the time of the acquisition.
EDIT: Shortsighted corpo scum don’t even understand the value of the thing they spent unimaginable amounts of money on, smh.
Anyone else remembering the time when Disney closed all their development studios because licensing is supposedly more profitable?
I think it still is, it’s just that game devs have found a recurring revenue model that works similarly to licensing: microtransactions.
I can see Disney wanting back in now that MTX is socially acceptable. Milking the same IP for decades is exactly their MO.

They could then just be a publisher for their own IP and outsource development work. Disney gets to own all copyrights and revenue and pick an independent studio most suited for each game. Buying something like EA for around a similar or higher price than Microsoft spends for Activision is just stupid.
Yeah, that makes sense too. I also wonder if they’re interested in having a game distribution platform as well. That’s in line with their Disney+ service they’ve been pushing. Buying EA means they get that and a bunch of popular games to seed it with.
I guess we’ll see what they end up doing.
As much as EA already sucks, please god no.
I could see this happening. This is the future we’re getting, like it or not. Off to play cyberpunk to prepare.
