Disney and EA sign deal on Star Wars brand

[GONNAFISTYA]

So after laying off a shit-ton of people and shutting down entire studios, EA has a new cash-cow to ruin with an exclusive deal with Disney.

Disney and Electronic Arts today announced a multi-year licensing agreement that will give the game publisher exclusive rights to make titles based on the Star Wars universe, including the upcoming films. While Disney will retain the rights to games in the "mobile, social, tablet and online game categories," EA will be the only publisher publishing "new Star Wars titles for a core gaming audience, spanning all interactive platforms and the most popular game genres."

For me, it's not the announcement that's the big news, but rather EA gutting so many studios in the name of "financial restructure" while sitting on a massive franchise announcement. Cunts.
