GFWL DRM and online play was replaced with Steam DRM and online play.

It uses CryEngine because when development started, Crytek was the publisher. By the time they sold it to Deep Silver, they were probably too late to start over.

The very newest figures may need you to download a patch, but that’s handled by the console maker’s servers, not Disney’s.

While HD-DVD did create a spec for a triple-layer disc, as you said, it never made it to market, and it would have only brought HD-DVD up to par with Blu-ray (51 GB HD-DVD vs 50 GB Blu-ray). And it may have not worked with existing players, had they even made any.

Didn’t Threepio lose the red arm by the end of The Force Awakens? The comic doesn’t make much sense with the final film.

In the original game, Ratchet didn’t want to kiss up to Qwark, because Qwark was an antagonist from the start. But Ratchet also hated Clank, and only kept him around because Ratchet needed a robotic ignition system for his ship. (Even then, he considered selling Clank off at least once.)

Other way around - the game used 10-15 minutes of footage from the movie as cutscenes. (The creative process went game -> movie -> game, not game -> game -> movie.)

You can’t prove there wasn’t a distribution problem by contradiction. If there’s at least one store without copies, then there was a distribution problem.

That’s one place where I think LEGO Dimensions has a huge advantage. For the other games, they aren’t even really figures you can play with; they’re just statues, with no “use” outside the game other than looking pretty. Dimensions is real LEGO that you can use just like you would any other bricks you have laying…

If you only bought it a year ago, almost a year and a half after the system came out, you’re not an early adopter.

D’oh! Why did I think Pirates did, then? *sigh*

I agree with you on their efforts in recent games. (Although in TT’s defense I think Samuel L. Jackson being recast was a special case - I don’t remember him having any additional lines, unlike the other characters affected. So I assumed that just came down to…

Their first few attempts (Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean) didn’t recast any movie characters. And the quality seemed good too. It’s only the more recent games where the quality has gone down and they’ve started recasting (Jurassic World, Avengers)...

In the US, they now use a Disney Movies Anywhere account. That can be linked to Vudu, which is probably the most widely available Ultraviolet player anyways. So you still get all your stuff in one place.

Said youngest millennials probably don’t even suspect that you meant TRL, not TLR. ;)

Batman 3 and Avengers are the only ones with extra levels & season passes, but they’ve been making extra character DLC as far back as Harry Potter.

There doesn’t seem to actually be any animosity on a corporate level. If it was, why would Disney allow WB to continue to make LEGO games based on Marvel and Star Wars?

In my case: because I already have a huge backlog and there’s no reason to add to it when it’s unlikely I’d get to the game before 2017. :-P

I’m surprised they were planning on going the physical lens route. I would have thought you should be able to enter your prescription and have the drivers software-correct the image to account for your needs...

Disney does, along with the other Star Wars IP.

20-30 minutes, I’d say.
