I’ve wondered why Disney hasn’t moved into that field, but I bet they look at MS’s experience as a huge cautionary tale. Massive company, very tech savvy, was willing to spend a ton of money to get a big boost in the industry…and 20 years later was it worth it? Disney’s main thing is its valuable IP, not software. Games studios don’t really integrate that well with the rest of their business. AAA games get more expensive to produce every day, even moreso than blockbuster movies. Probably more profitable to license their IP to the highest bidders and let other companies shoulder the risk.
