A new report claims that the current CEO, Bob Iger, was getting a bit of pressure from his deputies to take the company in a new direction, going from licensing titles to creating them to become a new giant player in the gaming industry.

As reported by Bloomberg, Disney’s CEO deputies tried to convince Bob Iger to expand its gaming division to what appears to be self-developing, though not without the means of acquiring publishers and studios. The report notes that while Iger was noncommital (as he was to everything else in the company), Bloomberg suggests that an attempt to acquire EA would have been part of that push if it all went through.

“Iger’s deputies are pushing him to consider a bolder transformation of Disney from gaming licensee to gaming giant through, say, an acquisition of Electronic Arts. But, as with everything else, he’s been noncommittal.”

To be clear, these aren’t current plans, but what some at Disney seem to have expressed interest in. Whether or not that is something that eventually changes down the road remains to be seen.

Currently, Disney has licensed out several of its properties to gaming companies. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine are examples of two upcoming games from PlayStation that have been licensed from Disney. However, sticking with EA, the relationship between them and Disney does fit into why execs may have wanted to push for an acquisition. EA has already published several Star Wars games, with a third Jedi game planned. They’re also in the process of making an Iron Man and Black Panther game, so to say the least, their relationship with Disney does seem to be a very close one.

How do you guys feel about this becoming a possibility? Will it be good that Disney can self-produce their games based on IPs they own, or will it become bloated and oversaturated like their current line-up of Marvel projects that many have said were?
