GI: "While our June cover story on Disney Infinity 3.0 covers Avalanche Software's next big release, while visiting the studio we spoke to its general manager John Blackburn about the turbulent history of licensed games based on animated films. The studio was put in a relatively dire situation around 2008 as the market for licensed games was drying up and before the toys-to-life genre of games took off, but things shifted after their bold pitch for a game based on Toy Story 3. While Disney Infinity has placed some secure ground under the studio's feet, Blackburn is looking to change things up and experiment with future releases in the series taking on "a different form" from an annual cycle."
