Rob over at The Bearded Trio asks a very pertinent question on his site tonight – what’s going on over at Lucasarts?
When Disney bought Lucasfilm back in November, there was a collective cheer and punching of the air from fans across the globe. Except for fans of one particular area, fans of Lucasarts. Straight away I was starting to hear concerns for the studio that brought us classics such as Monkey Island, X-Wing, Sam & Max and The Force Unleashed. The reason for that concern? Disney’s track record with game studios and how many had been shut down or “restructured” once acquired by the big studio. In the last two years three big studios all acquired by Disney have been closed down.
