SS210 Article: R.I.P LucasArts...You Will Be Missed

[STORMSHADOW__210]

Today many across the gaming community are mourning the death of a icon. As was reported yesterday,Disney has closed the doors to its LucasArts game publishing subsidiary and leaving 150 people without a job after cementing the companies place in video game history over a 30 year run. Here is the official Disney statement.....

"After evaluating our position in the games market, we've decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company's risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games. As a result of this change, we've had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles."

This is a real shame,especially with the recent news of the Cartoon Network Clone Wars being canceled....I'm sure many are starting to feel like the Disney "fangs" are beginning to come out.I hate to say it, but I actually agree with the move by Disney.Yes,LucasArts "WAS" a great game developer...even going back to the SNES,N64,PS1,and Gamecube days.
