Fans and gamers may be enjoying the Star Wars Commander app from Disney but looks like it will only be the official Star Wars game downloadable from the Google Play Store. Why, Disney has pulled out Star Wars Assault Team and Tiny Death Star permanently to focus on the recently introduced strategy game.
This pullout of the apps means Disney and Lucasfilm will release no more updates for the games in the future. The two games have been out for only less than a year but Disney decided to pull the plug to concentrate on Star Wars Commander. To make things worse, Disney did not notify Tiny Death Star’s developer Nimblebit about it.
Disney may only have good intention for its new mobile game release but at the expense of the other developer, Nimblebit. Pocket Gamer reported that Nimblebit’s Ian Marsh was disappointed by the move and that he wasn’t told about the removal. Marsh said that Tiny Death Star was a “significant source of revenue for us, so it stings that much more”. He also said, “my assumption is they don’t feel it is worth it to maintain the game any longer.”
The games can still be played on Android devices but will no longer receive official app updates. No new players can download the game too. If you want an official Star Wars game, you only have the Star Wars Commander to try.
