Disney to Lucasarts: Drop Dead!

Sad:

The Walt Disney Company is to shut down LucasArts, the games developer responsible for the Star Wars series of games.

The company plans to licence the Star Wars games brand to other developers…

“Both current Star Wars games projects have been halted,” Mr Perkins confirmed.

Full Throttle, Sam & Max, TIE Fighter, and Civilization pretty much defined gaming for me in the ’90s. All but Civ were created by LucasArts.
