epic mickey 2 001

[EN]: During my visit to E3 2012, I decided to stop by the Disney section. I talked to two people who worked in the making of Epic Mickey 2 because I remembered the success the first title had. Too bad the sequel released this past holiday was not as successful in sales as the original Wii-exclusive title.

Earlier this morning, Disney decided to close down Junction Point Studios after eight years, mainly because “these changes are part of our ongoing effort to address the fast-evolving gaming platforms and marketplace and to align resources against our key priorities,” according to en email.

Hours later, Warren Spector shared a post on Facebook in which he thanks Disney for the opportunity. Part of the post says: “I’ll always look back on the last eight years with nothing but pride. Rarely have I worked with a team more dedicated or harder working. Never have I been part of a game – of anything, really – that touched people at as deep or personal a level as the Epic Mickey games. That’s priceless.”

[ES]: Durante mi visita a E3 2012, decidí visitar la sección de Disney. Hablé con dos personas que trabajaron en la elaboración de Epic Mickey 2, porque me acordé del éxito que tuvo el primer título. Lástima que la secuela publicada en los pasados días festivos no fue tan exitosa en ventas como el título original exclusivo para el Wii.

Esta mañana, Disney decidió cerrar Junction Point Studios, después de ocho años, principalmente debido a que “estos cambios son parte de nuestro continuo esfuerzo para hacer frente a la rápida evolución de plataformas de juego y el mercado para alinear los recursos en contra de nuestras prioridades principales”, según un correo electrónico.

Horas más tarde, Warren Spector compartió una entrada en Facebook en la que agradece a Disney por la oportunidad. Parte del mensaje dice: “Siempre recordaré los últimos ocho años con nada más que orgullo. Pocas veces he trabajado con un equipo  más dedicado o más duro trabajando. Nunca he sido parte de un juego – de cualquier cosa, de verdad – que toque a la gente en un nivel profundo o personal como el de los juegos de Epic Mickey. Eso no tiene precio”.
