Totally agreed!!!

I don't get the corporate mind set sometimes... I really hope that Lucas takes some of his freshly minted billions and buys that back from Disney. Such a damn shame!!

it seems that Lucasarts will "survive" as a licensing company (exactly the same thing SEGA is now)

still sad though...

Corporations know how to choke the life out of anything valuable, don't they? But that's why it's called a business. People are shady. neutral

RIP Lucasarts.

well, it has to be said that after the mid '00s, Lucasarts was known for the dubious honour of releasing "run of the mill/unoriginal" SW-only games and cancelling/ignoring games that pretty much everyone wanted at that time (like Kotor 3)

but I'm not sure if this new "licensing only" era will bring quality games again...

we'll see...

For what it's worth, the LucasArts that Disney shut down was a far cry from the LucasFilm Games that made so many classics over the years.

The company that was shut down was the one responsible for this...

The company that made games like Day Of The Tentacle, Maniac Mansion, X-Wing, Rebel Assault, and Grim Fandango was gone YEARS ago.
