...it'd be tough to disagree with him. I mean, how can you justify shipping crap like Turok and Tron...and canning POTC:AOTD ???

awiseman5556d ago

I agree, but that psp game split second is ok.

stuntman_mike5556d ago

different studio, black rock games.although disney publish them.

hatchimatchi5556d ago

It seems like they wanted to have nothing but home runs with minimal effort. It doesn't work that way.

Good riddance, maybe with them gone more independent studios can remain open and functional.

I hate it when a publishing giant scoops up a talented but relatively new studio, has them make a game with limited resources. Games does mediocre in sales, studio is closed. It's such bullshit.

Disney Should Buy Fortnite And Epic Games, Former Exec Says

The Walt Disney Company's new CEO, Josh D'Amaro, is a big fan of video games, and one former Disney executive believes D'Amaro would be smart to do even more in gaming going forward. This could include a buyout of a gaming company like Epic Games.

In an interview with CNBC, Kevin Mayer--a former Disney and TikTok executive who now runs Candle Media--said D'Amaro will need to take "bold steps" to help Disney make more money and grow its stock price. One part of this could be doing more in gaming, he said.

Apparently nobody remembers the absolute shitshow that happened when EA brought the Havok engine which was used as the default engine of the 6th generation like UE is used today.

SkilledGamer26d ago

You've got it wrong, EA bought Renderware not Havok. Havok was bought by Intel in 2007 and then Microsoft in 2015

Fishy Fingers26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Nor was it ever a widely used or considered, game engine, Renderware was. It was and still is a physics/material simulation plugin for the actual game engines.

Profchaos26d ago

Yeah you're right i was thinking of Renderware. But point still stands Renderware was used literally everywhere from games like GTA 3,VC,SA to Sonic games and Tony hawk it was really the default industry wide engine that UE is today.

If Disney takes over Epic and UE we could face a situation where they change the terms of use for other game devs big and small. They could remove the licensing agreements currently in place and impose a payment per download model like Unity did which could cripple the industry.

Dumbass cant even spell Cinderella but apparently he's upset by the 1997 Cinderella classic starring Brandy. Almost 20 year old movie.
Just say you dont like black people man, we all know it.

rlow126d ago

I really hope this doesn’t happen. They ruin everything that they buy. Terrible company

Zerobalance26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Trolling. Hope Disney take the Maval characters like Spider-Man and Wolverine away from Sony and make it themselves that would me laugh so hard.
