Ok, not Unity related, but gaming related.
Disney closed down the game development studio, and cancelled all of their projects. Star Wars 1313!? 
Terrible crime.
Lets us march on DisneyLand!!! Disney has committed a horrible crime.
Pitchforks and torches! PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES!
that happen when a corporation like Disney take over a license
they don’t care about the people o work they replace with cheap labor in other country .
Yes, the industry veterans are too expensive for those cheap morons. It’s Disneys losing money in the long run.
Prepare the heavy cavalry! Tonight we make war with Disney. For death and glory.
How much do we want to bet that we’re just going to see a ton of Star Wars themed games on Facebook from Playdom?
jar jar binks cartoon series here we come! jar jar binks facebook app! jar jar binks ios game! jar jar binks ANDROID game! jar jar effing stinks.
Haha
I know I’ll get flamed for this, but how long has it been since they released something that was commercially successful?
They used to get a significant amount of their success from non-Star Wars titles, but haven’t made one in ages. The last was Fracture, which ended up in the bargain bin disappointingly quickly. And the Star Wars stuff is being licensed out quite effectively.
As much as it sucks for any studio to close, I can’t really get upset at Disney for not continuing to pour money into something that, for whatever reason, didn’t seem to be working out. I just hope that the people who lost their jobs find new ones that make use of their expertise and talent, and wish them the best of luck in doing so.
LucasArts was little more than a name at this point. It’s an absolute shame that most of the workforce was laid off, since that affects everyone looking for a job in an already crowded industry, but the LucasArts name we all associate with brilliant adventure games and some REALLY fantastic Star Wars titles just wasn’t there anymore. Like with Atari, I don’t see why we should cling desperately to the names of old studios.
I will fight alongside you 'till the very end.
Fire the catapults!
SIR! Tis not possible! Vader Helmets are no more.
I will never forget when I played Dark Forces or X-Wing vs Tie Fighter all nights long. Or Day of the Tentacle.
That’s really a shame…
meh.
I’m primarily upset at the loss of 1313. That was one game that was really stepping away from the same ol’ Star Wars stuff, and breaking new ground.
You’re kidding, right? It just looked like yet another third-person cover shooter, but this time with a Star Wars IP attached. What new ground was it breaking?
insert furious battle-cry here
Seriously though?? I was under the impression that Disney was going to do good things with the Star Wars IP. And 1313 was looking like it could make up for the lackluster SWTOR for a while there. But that’s gone too now? Damn.
i consider this Karma for canceling Sam Max freelance police
