thread_title: Some more information hopefully

message: Haven't there been other logos similar to LucasArts' guy? I think I've seen some that also reminded me of LA, although now I can't remember any. I also just happened upon a site called Softonic which has a logo which is pretty similar if you ask me. I suppose there's no reason to mention this in the actual article though.

message: Something I miss in the Wiki are some of the 'bad' decisions LucasArts is making lately. The most well known is the Anti-Adventure games policy started by president Jim Ward. I don't have his literaly quote, but it was something like "There will be no more adventure-games till either I leave or 2017." Should be easy to find. It really pissed off a lot of old LucasArts fans and adventure-game lovers, resulting in internetprotests en boycotting of LucasArts games. It seemed to go in the right direction again with the announcement of Full Throttle 2 and Sam & Max, but they were inevitably cancelled.  Many of the old, hardcore LucasArts fans went on to support company's like Tell Tale Games (Sam & Max) and Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions (Grim Fandango -> Psychonauts).
Another thing is the choice of platform the company is choosing to release their games on. LucasArts used to be the 'PC and Nintendo' developer, releasing numerous quality games on the NES, SNES, N64 and old PC's. Yet in the GameCube period, they suddenly switched over to PS2 and Xbox, despite the record-sellings of GameCube launchtitle Rogue Squadron. And in the same period, the PC started to get a lot of mediocre (star wars) games, often direct ports from the 'inferior' consoles. Despite some successes like Knights of the Old Republic, the PC fanbase didn't get the top notch games like they used to. Both platforms suffered quite a blow with the announcement that the next-gen Indiana Jones and Force Unleashed won't get a release on the PC or Wii. PC-users on a lot of fora started to complain about the lack of a good lightsaber-shooter for so long, eventhough LucasArts used to make the very popular Jedi Knight-series. And since the beginning of the Wii concept, people wanted, and LucasArts promised, a Wii-Lightsaber game, which is still hasn't even been officially acknowledged by the company.
I'm not much of a writer, but someone should definitely add it to the Wiki.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.126.160.35 (talk) 16:40, August 24, 2007 (UTC) 
:I think sourcing much of what you're saying would be difficult even if I partially agree with some of it. Personally I also don't get why they didn't buy BioWare, seemed like a good fit given their history of successfully working together which appears to be ongoing but it wasn't to be and BioWare became another EA company. However as with your comments, I haven't actually read any of this discussed in RS. Nil Einne (talk) 02:46, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

message: There seems to be no new information as of this date (Feb 2011). The future section in particular contains only information about past releases. If new information about LucasArts could be found and added it would be much better than this articles current state. Dynex811 (talk) 14:45, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Why does Totally Games redirect to the LucasArts page? They developed games for multiple publishers and weren't part of LucasArts. Their page (which has seemingly been deleted) contained information that isn't on the LucasArts page. -- DJcube1701 (talk) 22:04, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
