Disney Adds Seropian and Wideload [Sep 08, 2009, 09:48 am ET] – 2 Comments
CNBC.com has news that Bungie
co-founder Alex Seropian has joined Disney Interactive Studios to oversee
in-house video game development. The move also includes the acquisition of
Wideload Games (Stubbs the Zombie & Hail to the Chimp), the studio
Seropian formed in 2004, but financial terms are
not being revealed. The article speaks of convergence between casual and core games,
"Look at Pixar," they quote Seropian saying. "They are successfully making films
that appeal to both families and film nerds – and that opportunity exists in
games." There's no word on how Disney's recent acquisition of
Marvel will play into this, since that deal is not officially finalized yet.
