Out of the four major lineups of NFC-based lines games (Skylanders, Disney Infinity, Nintendo amiibo and Lego Dimensions), two of them have, or are going to, dissapear in the near future. Disney Infinity turned out to be not as profitable for the big D and its closure took down Disney's gaming studios. Activision, after almost a decade of successes with Skylanders, is shutting down the next game due to profits growing smaller and smaller. Only Lego Dimension stays as a traditional NFC game, due to amiibos being tied not to a NFC game, but to their whole catalogue.
Considering how expensive this games are to be created and developed, I'm sure there are going to be no new NFC game anytime soon. So what's going to happen with this series? Will Lego Dimensions and amiibo have a rough time in the future? Will they thrive due to having less competition? What will Disney and Activision with the remaining figurines, now that there are millions of families with access to a bunch of figurines that are going to be obsolete?
