By now you may have heard the news that we have made the difficult decision to discontinue production of Disney Infinity. From the beginning, Disney Infinity was built for you—our fans—and I wanted to take a moment to thank you not just for your support over the years, but for creating a community that made Disney Infinity more than just a game.
Disney recently announced it’s “toys-to-life” products would be slowed, presumedly because parents had finally realised that buying an overpriced plastic figurine to enabled a character in-game was a waste of money.
What no one expected is that by “slow” that in fact meant “shut down immediately and no longer publish games at all”. A very sad turn of events for the folks working there.
Despite being a money grab through its toys Disney Infinite was a great title with a lot of fun mechanics that I enjoyed jumping into. It’s unfortunate the series wont be continuing.
Will this have an effect on Nintendo’s burgeoning amiibo cash machine? Time will tell.
