Disney confirms layoffs at game division

LOS ANGELES, CA The company didn't specify the number of people affected, however.

Last week, Disney closed Propaganda Games, the console-game studio behind "Tron: Evolution" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned."

Propaganda, founded and then bought by Disney in 2005, was housed in a 30,000-square foot facility in downtown Vancouver.

Disney also laid off some people at its Junction Point studio in Austin, Texas, on Monday. That studio was responsible for creating the console game "Epic Mickey."

Disney says the restructuring was "part of setting a strategic direction for future success in the digital media space."
