Re: Disney shuts down LucasArts
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/vi … -LucasArts
This is awful news especially when some of these game projects were quite promising. It wasn't a shock though. Similar to the Aliens Colonial Marines situation a couple weeks ago. Of course they use the people who put their hard work and time into developing these games and demos and give them the shaft. Pisses me off about the industry and some of the people who run it. Even if the CEOs will rake in the money after the company shuts down while these developers lose their money, big paying positions, and have to either transfer to another game company or have to leave their dreams. 
So yeah a big FUCK YOU to Disney games and a big FUCK YOU to the greedy people who run these various entertainment industries.

Re: Disney shuts down LucasArts
Just read about this today. What bullshit.
Yep! That's why Telltale and alot of other game companies that used to be small or now getting huge in terms of sales and word of mouth is they conduct fair business practices and allowed to use great IPs because of this. Even indie companies are rising up and becoming successful while EA and others are starting to drop. Alot of these big famous game companies need to get their shit together instead of pointing fingers.
Re: Disney shuts down LucasArts
In all honestly though, they were more of a publisher than an actual development company? They kind of pushed out a lot of mediocre content for cash grabs. Quantity over quality 
. Doubt it'll affect current stuff like Knights Of Old Republic, since Bioware actually developed it.

What happened with Aliens Colonial marines?
One of the side developers that worked with Gearbox on the game laid off hundreds of employees and they had to file for bankruptcy. None of the other publishers helped assist in the matter.

Also, from IGN user Fivearound:
"We have decided to shift our focus from being creative to lazily collecting profits from the popularity of our intellectual properties."
Re: Disney shuts down LucasArts
Once there comes a way to generate graphics cheaply it's over for the big boys. Same goes for Hollywood. Their current business model is geared to the hilt towards using their monetary clout to create superior eye candy. If that slips they'll be lagging behind the small competitors in basically every area that matters: originality, creativity and inspiration.
