it is kind off incredible when you think about it. The entertainment behemoth Disney effectively has zero presence in video games outside of mobile. I know there Star Wars and things like Marvels Spider Man but those would not exist if a 3rd party hadn't pushed Disney for the license.

Eventually Disney will turn its head towards the gaming industry. And they'll buy some giant studio like rockstar and they'll release GTA pga 13

Warner Bros has done a fantastic job in the video game space. No reason why Disney can't do the same.

Eh that's debatable while the games made by developers that are owned by WB are of high quality they have alot of forced in microtransactions that honestly ruin them.

Flewid6381814d ago

No one's ever forced me to buy microtransactions so I can't say my experience is the same. Injustices, Mortal Kombats, Mordors, Max Payne and all 4 Batmans were good to me.

I kinda want Disney to stay away from games, sure they can allow devs to make beautiful and high quality games like Spiderman (2018) but they are very controlling and if they plan to overtake the gaming industry like they are the movie industry we might not get anymore unique experiences.

Even if they plan to overtake the gaming industry it isn't going to happen. It's too big to be overtaken by any one company.

Still waiting for its first patch which is worrying. I know it’s been a single man developer but there’s really no excuse for no updates being released since launch. I’ve been part of many single developer releases that are updated daily, sometimes hourly. This’s hasn’t had a single one yet….
