Schafer shocked as Disney disbands LucasArts team

'I never thought that Lucas would actually shut down. I feel badly for all the talented people there'

Famed game designer Tim Schafer has said he was shocked by the news that Disney have closed LucasArts.
Schafer spent ten years at the studio, developing titles such as Grim Fandango, Monkey Island and Full Throttle during his time there.

But yesterday new owners Disney made the decision to disband the studio despite having been a stalwart in the industry for 30 years.
Schafer told Kotaku he was sad to see a studio with so much history closed down, and did not think the day would come when it would actually happen.
“Even though part of me felt this was coming, I’m still, somehow, shocked,” said Schafer
