  1. First Disney buys Rocket Pack (web-based all-in-one game creation software). Now they are dumping money into GameSalad (web-based all-in-one game creation software). And during the same time-frame, some mystery company spooked YoYo into dropping everything to make an HTML5 runner. I think you see where I’m headed. Is my imagination getting away with me?

    • Probably… 🙂

      Why would Disney want to be involved in three different game making software projects? Then again, why would they be involved in two? Maybe they want to monopolize on the ‘easy game creation’ market and they’re just trying to get friendly with all the current players in it.

      Or, yeah, you could be being a bit too imaginative there.
