LucasArts as we know it is dead.

I dunno if any of you have read the news, but yeah. I've made a tribute video:

Anyways, fun fact from Skype:

 

[5:14:57 AM] Blinx: The last three videos; 1313, Curse of Monkey Island, and First Assault. They can have some meaning behind them with viewer interpretation.

 

[5:16:15 AM] Blinx: I somehow see the 1313 clip as those two characters descending into a hell where they may never be released(the game's actual state, too, ugh...).

[5:16:46 AM] Blinx: And the Monkey Island one, it makes me think of him writing the final chaper to a story(The LucasArts we know and love).

[5:17:17 AM] Blinx: And the First Assault one, well, this one isn't meant to be taken too seriously.

[5:17:40 AM | Edited 5:17:48 AM] Blinx: I see LucasArts donning Storm Trooper gear for a march into the afterlife.


What do all of you think about this, though? This is apparently a part of Disney's plan to fuck over long time Star Wars fans, as they have been doing so relentlessly lately. Three new movies isn't worth this shit, not by a long shot; I'm sure George Lucas would have gotten to them, eventually at least, but getting them sooner apparently MUST come at a cost.

 

Ugh.

I won't be missing them for their Star Wars games, but rather for their mighty pirates, two-headed squirrels, and tentacles. Mind you, I'm not saying their Star Wars games weren't good, just that I haven't really played... any of them, I think. When I hear LucasArts - or "Lucasfilm Games" for that matter! - I simply immediately think of things like the gas for chainsaws on Mars or ipecacuanha ipecac...

 

So, papapishu, this is a historic loss similar to that of ex. Psygnosis (aka SCE Studio Liverpool) half a year ago, no matter what...

I was just thinking about this, and what would happen to my beloved Monkey Island now that Disney has their grubby little hands on LucasArts. I was kind of aware that I would probably never see another decent Star Wars game again (even though there HASN'T been one since Jedi Outcast), but poor Guybrush! How will he fare in this change of power!
