No please no, god no. Disney rots everything it touches and epic games is more than rotten enough as it is.


Oversimplified negativity towards Disney and Epic Games doesn't capture their diverse contributions. A more nuanced view and consideration of both positives and negatives is advisable.


I agree that you can't make this that simple, you never know what will happen. But I have been in the game business as a developer/ publisher / whatever for decades and worked for Disney. Disney more then any other company I know of (maybe except EA) has squandered its opportunities and acquisitions in the game space consistently. Disney Interactive has died and been recreated I think three times in my career. If I started to make a list of all the game companies or game adjacent (Maker Studio) I probably would miss a bunch. And none of them worked. Disney has a really strong culture that has not in the past fit well with the video game business.


Oversimplified positivity doesn't capture their perverse intentions. A more nuanced view of both negatives and positives is advisable.


Nuanced negativity fails to grasp their genuine intentions. A simplified perspective considering both negatives and positives is recommended.
