Not contempt with now owning Marvel Comics and planning a very interesting game in "Epic Mickey" Disney has now decided to buy a former Bungie co-founder and his development studio.
Anyone else think Disney are trying to branch out more into gaming and become a big titled publisher like Activison, EA, Capcom etc?
disney has a history of being very gangster-ish with their business expansion... if they see success they try to buy it and make it theres. Microsoft does the same thing always.
i don't care as long as the games are good. I wouldn't mind seeing what they can do with the Marvel world. Lord knows that Marvel wasn't doing anything interesting with the rights. I know many people think the Disney thing is a bad thing but Disney has a lot of money. I think they will be more willing to take chances with the material than Marvel was.

No, alot of business do this. MS might do it on a larger scale but that's how businesses operate.
A restaurant that serves Italian, the owner sees that a different part of the city is gaining customers, he/she might open up another restaurant in that area because it provides a better income.
Same with this Disney purchase. Another set of income. Game publishers have been doing it for years with the advancement of video game franchises movies.
It also seems needlessly paranoid. We live in a (mostly) capitalistic society. This is what happens. And the major alternatives aren't so great. You might as well hate ambition and dreams, because they're the direct underlying principles behind such businesses. We could be negative and call it greed, but what person doesn't want to live comfortably and make money? CEO's will always be filthy rich, so it's easy to focus hatred on them, but Disney is gigantic, and the vast majority of it is made of average workers.
