  "account": "Warren Spector, the creator of Epic Mickey, expressed disappointment that his studio isn't receiving recognition for its role in resurrecting Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Spector, known for games like Ultima Underworld and Deus Ex, is eagerly anticipating the upcoming Oswald miniseries, but feels the studio's contribution is being overlooked. Disney reacquired Oswald in 2006 and has since featured the character in various forms, but Spector argues that his team's work in the Epic Mickey games deserves more credit. While the original Epic Mickey game received mixed reviews, Spector believes the team did an excellent job in reintroducing Oswald to Disney's canon. He hopes the upcoming Oswald series will properly acknowledge the team's efforts and ensure the games aren't forgotten.",
  "summary": "Oswald, who featured in both Epic Mickey games, is getting an animated miniseries in 2027, and Spector rightly thinks his team should get credit for helping make it happen.",
