Michael Eisner: Hollywood's IP struggles in gaming persist

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner believes Hollywood has historically struggled to effectively leverage its intellectual property (IP) into new formats, particularly in the video game industry. He cited early failures like Warner Bros.'s venture with Atari and contrasted them with Nintendo's success, attributing the initial Hollywood missteps to a lack of technological understanding. Eisner noted that the industry has since shifted towards being more IP-driven and story-focused, with companies like Disney successfully acquiring and expanding major franchises such as Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar.
