Video games. They just can't figure them out lol. Toys? Music? TV? Movies? Cartoons? They can do all of that but they don't "get" video games. That's why they license out their stuff to others. Kinda funny they can't do it themselves

They cant bank on nostalgia or big franchise names to guarantee sales there.

Next Super Smash Bros should be Nintendo vs Disney

It would print money

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

They got Lucasarts games as part of the Star Wars deal and shuttered it. They just have no interest.

I feel like games are at least on their radar, when something like Infinity War can make one or two billion during its entire run, while GTAV can make a billion within a few days and continues being on monthly top ten lists of games sold.

but yea, it's likely because they haven't found a way to best capitalize on the medium and/or because they haven't found the right studio(s)

They have marvel and star wars now, yea they've released some games since the buyout but it takes time. EA still has a madden contract, not everything makes sense.

Disney makes money off screen time not content

Video games are short term investments too compared to the kinds of IPs they like to deal with. Rarely does a video game series last longer than a console gen or two

They'll probably buy Sony and lean into it

they were doing pretty well in the 90s when they had those Mickey Mouse castle of illusion games and then Aladdin and lion king. Then for some reason they stopped

Another Star Wars racer or even Marvel one could be fun.

We did get Fallen Order and that was pretty good.

Disney charges so much for licensing fees that it's impossible to make a profit off of Disney games. Aladdin was one of the top ten selling games on the Sega Genesis and the only thing Sega got out of it was that people actually bought Genesis consoles to be able to play the game.

To paraphrase one employee, "If somebody other than Disney made a dollar, Disney felt that it was fundamentally wrong."

Though that was more because they didn't give a fuck about PR, so they let the directors do what they wanted
