PA writes: Former LucasArts composer Jesse Harlin has written a eulogy for the company, and the words have been matched with a series of images taken of employees on what was reported to be their last day of work. The eulogy is moving, and it provides a look into a group of people who are passionate about what they did, but a few lines stand out as stark reminders of how much you give up to work in this industry.

LucasArts is done and finished and you won't be getting any good games out of the studio on the developmental front. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean you can't get a glimpse of a game you won't be able to play but one you'll probably willingly give a left or right leg to experience.

GamesRadar - Whether you were a fan of LucasArts's fantastic point-and-click adventures or its remarkable licensed games, there's a good chance you have fond, nostalgic memories of the projects spawned by the company.

And though the company has shut down its game creation wing, its legacy will live on in the developers it inspired to make their own games, to create their own worlds, and to tell their own stories.
