Disney Shuts Down LucasArts, Cancels Star Wars 1313

[chrisorg]

“After evaluating our position in the games market, we’ve decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company’s risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games," LucasArts parent company LucasFilm said in a statement. "As a result of this change, we’ve had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles.”

nope, but there's been worse.
Though I'm really sick of everybody making pointless cosmetic updates for the sake of it that push functionality back. YT, Twitch, Kotaku, Hotmail (ok that one's an improvement for once). It's really getting on my nerves

The previous one was the best imo. The feed was on the left side and the story was on the right; when you open a story, it doesn't disrupt your feed (so you can resume scrolling down the stories where you left off). In the new one, all the stories are displayed in a single column and clicking on it will bring you to the same story, but when you go back to the feed, you will have to restart from the top

So from what I understand, they said movies suck, let's make video games so all you movie people are out of jobs?
