It means they bought LucasArts too. Not that LucasArts were great in the last decade or so but Disney sucks as a "parent" for game dev companies (RIP Blackrock)

- Lewisham 14y agoLucasArts hasn't existed in any real capacity for the last five years or so anyway, they've just been a licensing house. At least under Disney there is the possibility of finding some talent (unlikely, but possible).
- InclinedPlane 14y agoMaybe. The problem is that Disney has so many parts of the company that are highly profitable (Marvel cinematic, Pixar, Disney proper, their many other movie studios, and now Lucasfilm) that it can be comparatively difficult to direct resources at smaller efforts. This is a problem at big companies like Microsoft and Google as well. Something that might flourish if it were let loose as an independent startup can easily languish at a company that has bigger fish to fry.

- MartinCron 14y agoOr Grim-Fandango HD for iOS. A man can dream, right?
- zachinglis 14y agoGrim was amazing. Currently replaying, but Full Throttle was where it was at.
- MartinCron 14y agoI was thinking of replaying Grim Fandango and was sad that I couldn't find it on Steam or GOG. Does the original version work well with Modern Windows flavors?
- Hinrik 14y agoThe game works pretty well with ResidualVM (http://residualvm.org/ http://residualvm.org/) on modern operating systems.
- zachinglis 14y agoYep. I play it on my Mac through Residual.
- zachinglis 14y agoLook what I just read: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2012/04/pixar-d%C3%ADa-de-los-muertos-film.html http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2012/04/pixar-d%C3%AD... Grim Fandango the movie, anyone?
- MartinCron 14y agoThat is so cool. Thank you for sharing.
