“It was very clear that we were kind of the redheaded stepchild,” said a source of Disney’s shuttering of LucasArts. “We kinda came along with the hot mum being the film properties.”
Everyone who had played and loved a LucasArts game in their lives — be it Grim Fandango, Monkey Island or any of the awesome Star Wars titles — was sad when Disney shuttered the studio last week. Now, sources and insiders have come forward to talk about the last days of the legendary LucasArts studio. It’s not a long read, but it’s an emotional one: morale was down early and the writing was on the wall soon after for many of the studio’s developers. It’s definitely worth your time. [Kotaku]
