Most of us thought that Disney Interactive were really downsizing on the amount of games they developed seeing as how they fired nearly half of their core workforce.

At this point I think most of us really don’t care about what Disney Interactive has to offer us.  After firing a good chunk of their staff and closing Propaganda Games, Disney Interactive really didn’t have much to appeal to core gamers since their newfound focus was now set on entering the casual games/Facebook market.  The news that Split/Second developer Black Rock Studios was working on a new game is certainly promising, but let’s not be too naïve in thinking that game wil

At this point I think we can all rank Disney Interactive as being the worst if not the most misguided video game publisher in recent memory. Sure, the evil empire that is Activision may do some dark stuff like cancelling games that otherwise look good, but Disney Interactive has seemingly redefined the definition of incompetent with the decisions they’ve made this generation.  The latest example of Disney Interactive’s continued downward spiral concerns something I’ve been expecting for a while: layoffs at Black Rock Studios.

Out of all the stuff that occurred in the world of video games last year, the drama involving Disney Interactive was by far the most interesting – or at least it was to me.  After gobbling up developers and releasing games that were catered to core gamers who enjoyed triple-A games, Disney Interactive effectively cleared out house in the last few months of 2010.  The new Pirates of the Caribbean game that Disney’s Propaganda Games was developing looked good but it was ultimately cancelled and Propaganda was closed after TRON: Evolution hit the market.  But what was even more

Disney Interactive took a gamble of sorts with Disney Epic Mickey for the Wii and based on the news of late it looks like the gamble may not have paid off.  So far Disney Epic Mickey has performed admirable at retail but the game hasn’t gone on to become the multi-million unit seller Disney had hoped it would be so in the eyes of a corporation the game could be viewed as a disappointment.  Besides being a game, Disney Epic Mickey was also meant to relaunch Mickey Mouse to a new audience and possibly spin-off into new movies and other merchandise – all of which is TBA at this point

For the past two months major things have been going down at Disney Interactive.  Key figures in the Disney Interactive management hierarchy have left, projects have been binned and most recently an entire studio was closed (RIP Propaganda Games).  Yesterday we got word that Disney Epic Mickey developer Junction Point Studios were hit with some layoffs and now it’s been revealed that Disn

The axing continues: layoffs issued at Junction Point Studios

Looking at the amount of developers that have either received massive layoffs or been closed entirely is like seeing Genghis Kahn lay waste to his foes in Asia and across the world.

Propaganda Games reportedly has been closed [RUMOR]

Today is just one of those grim days in the video game industry that no matter what happens will just be a sucky day. There could be double rainbows across the world or some newfangled tech development and things will still be crappy. The reason for such a grim attitude today is because reports are coming in that Propaganda Games (Turok, TRON: Evolution) has been closed by Disney Interactive.

New job postings for Junction Point Studios possibly hint to something that isn't Epic Mickey related

With the release of Disney Epic Mickey developer Junction Point Studios now finds themselves in a bit of a tricky spot.  After being hyped up for an incredible amount of time, Disney Epic Mickey somewhat under delivered as it had good production values but just felt a bit too ho-hum in the gameplay department which we all know is where it counts the most.

Fist Bump or Bitch Slap: EA Sports or Disney Interactive

This is the love/hate relationship between me and plenty of other people in the world of gaming. Every week I will pick someone who gets my Fist-bump for doing a good deed, someone who gets my undesirable Bitch-Slap for doing something wrong (or just something that pisses me off), and I'll share my experience/opinion along the way.
