Of course they do. They love producing garbage on a conveyor belt.

Come to think of it, the majority of their rides at the parks are on conveyor belts.

[kiphalfton]

Not surprising, considering how much Star Wars garbage is released every year (between TV shows, movies, games, etc.).

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Every 6 months? Disney gonnah be confused when sales drop dramatically after people get burnt out

The issue with modern corporate culture is the only thing that matters is short term culture. So I’m their mind if oversaturate then adjust when the fall off happens.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Perfect way to get bored of star wars universe, as the movies.

Do it Disney, kill the IP.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I hope they do this and stick to it. I would revel in their saturation and await the boon of them turning the Star Wars IP into a soulless husk, devoid of anything but decisions for shareholders.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

 

[Alebrije]

So you just need to wait 6 months to get a game at discount or on Plus/Gamefast service...

 

[Lunarorbit]

Marvel and star wars were two of my favorite properties growing up. I think some people are just over marvel after infinity wars; seeing all the worry about how Ms marvel was not doing well cause people are racist is really shitty.

I think people are just burnt out. It's way too much content especially after years of nothing. I'm not looking forward to any of these games until I see more footage. They've been bad stewarts of these properties recently

[MAtgS]

And I want a new KH every 6 months. Gonna do anything about that, Disney?

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Yet another thing from my childhood ruined by oversaturation and lack of any new ideas in entertainment.

 

[Amiga]

Buy Ubisoft and they can put out a SW game every 3 months. Star Wars would have the lore to keep Ubisoft games interesting. Each sandbox game would be set in a SW location. one whole game in Cloud City. another sandbox platformer on the Moon of Endor (based on the cartoon).

People just looking for an excuse to shit on Disney again.

 

[Stuart360]

And i'd take one every 6 months to be honest. The Star Wars universe is so rich with so much potential, its honestly tailor made for gaming.

You forgot freaking massive The Old Republic.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

lol it's a good way to kill it off even faster.

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

Disney has not learned the lessons that LucasArts learned through decades of making Star Wars games. Over saturation is NOT your friend and while the industry has changed and you can have multiple high level studios and companies producing star wars content, 6 months almost means having upwards of 10 games in development at all times. That's a pretty tall order for ONE franchise. Especially since it only takes a couple rough ones to really tank your image.

Also too bad that Disney short sightedly shut Lucasarts down as soon as they were aquired and then subsequently fired almost all of their in house Disney Interactive Developers in 2016…leaving it up to EA.

 

[DavJay]

I want KOTOR 3 but only with the right team.

 

[nush]

Every 6 months? Disney gonnah be confused when sales drop dramatically after people get burnt out

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

I know these companies are out of ideas, but that’s ridiculous and could definitely lead to franchise burnout.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Im just going to keep on ignoring this ip

 

[Hendrick's]

Of course they do. Just like TV and Film, they will continue to beat the IP further into mediocrity.

 

[mylifedotcom]

Canon, open-world game. Luke building his Jedi Order.

 

[OldBoyGamer]

This does have all the hallmarks of a bad idea. And a VERY expensive one at that.

What was it about 10/15 years ago square flooded the market with FF games? That didn’t go well either.

Not saying it’s impossible. But the difficulty in achieving consecutive successful game launches makes me think this is a badly thought out ideology.

I could see it working for a Marvel or DC universe. But much much harder for SW I think

 

[ShirAhava]

Just re-release Battlefront 2015 as Battlefront Arcade and watch the dough roll in

Such an underrated game

 

[Haggard]

Time to post it again

 

[Roman Empire]

Disney: Time to kill some younglings This is where the fun begins!

 

[saintjules]

You'll get telltale level games at best this way.

 

[Miles708]

Star Wars got boring 20 years ago already.

 

[Interfectum]

 

[ReBurn]

No we want fewer video games not more

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Gotta love companies that don't know a crap about games talking about them as if this is the MCU lmao.

 

[kyussman]

Conveyor belt strategy for games too......well it's certainly working out well for the TV stuff because I think we can all agree it's been absolutely top quality so far,lol.Someone needs to take Disney out the back and put them out of their misery...what a fucking useless company they have become.
