Disney Interactive Studios started out as a small Disney arm that mainly churned out licensed games for kids. Today, itâs a major game player. The man that made that happen is leaving the company.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Graham Hopper is leaving Disney Interactive. He is the man who made Epic Mickey happen. Under Hopperâs watch, Disney acquired Warren Spectorâs studio.
Spector is designing Epic Mickey.
As Hopper leaves, Disney Interactive is focusing more on browser-type and mobile games. Last month, it was confirmed that Disney was canceling Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned, a console title the company had already spent millions on.
