Forums - Gaming Discussion - Disney Interactive hit with huge layoffs

They want to make fb games instead of consoles'.

Why do you think they spent nearly a billion to buy Playdom?

Seriously?

Disney's games never impressed me, so I'm kinda indifferent to the news, I just hope that the people that got the pink slip can get back in the industry.

This is more just due to a change in focus, what retail games they did release didn't fair to their expectations I guess. This was all going to happen before Epic Mickey anyway, so I'd imagine we'll see a sequel to that but not much else.

 Getting into the video game industry and having anything of a foothold requires a big investment. Disney have opted out of doing that whereas someone like Zenimax / Bethesda are really pumping money into getting a strong foothold. Disney just didn't have the stomach for it I guess.
