Very sad news! It's been a long time since they made any decent games, but it's a shame to see such an iconic developer close its doors.

Which company will be next?

Star Wars 1313 looked great honestly.

Any chance of someone buying the rights and finishing it?

Well, at least some degree of contaction. Jerry Bruckheimer also closed down his games studio also. Apparently there is decreased interest to try to score big in the videogame business.

Man. Jerry Bruckheimer, too? I will never forget the hours I spent with such awesome Bruckheimer Arts classics as

Yes, the master of action genre was never was able to get a game produced, and decided to close up shop:

It seems there still exists a rift between the videogames and movies industry that Lucas Arts alone seemed to be one of the few who could cross over to. So, with LucasArts gone, we now have to look forward to the ongoing divide and a videogame industry bleeding itself to death in read ink trying to be Hollywood, and get the cultural respect and so on.

Nooooo! Who will make all these awesome point and click adventures now?

...oh wait

LOL!

...Telltale? :p

Exactly!

For me Lucas Arts died when they stopped making their adventure games. I don't fell much sense of a loss right now

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
