Develop AAA games, build a Disney metaverse with Mickey Mouse, lightsabers and Captain America, stuff like that ....

I thought Disneyland was the original "verse," but a metaverse sounds enticing.

Disney was quite early in MMPORG scene, with their online game Toontown (which was sunset a couple of years ago).

There was a more recent example with a scene in "Wreck-it Ralph 2" that showcased a Disney metaverse. Furthermore, Disney did collaborate with Skylanders. Perhaps expand on that?

I don't think that's true. They had their own toys-to-life game called Disney Infinity.

That was a mixup. Thanks for the correction.

I'm honestly not sure if this was said in jest or not, but that sounds absolutely miserable.

Disney infinity is pretty much this.
