Disney, much like any other corporation of its girth, has one hell of an appetite.

Disney Interactive announced recently that it will be purchasing Gamestar, a Chinese game developer situated in Shanghai and Wuhan. 

The company was originally founded by former Ubisoft Shanghai staff back in 2002 and has done titles for the PS2, GameCube, Xbox and PC.

Graham Hopper, an executive VP at Disney Interactive, commented on the acquisition:

"Gamestar will play an important role in our global growth plans, providing a high quality talent pool for our expanding product portfolio.  Our global expansion is aimed at achieving a new level of creative capacity, quality, and expertise in video game software development."

Gamestar will be their sixth internal studio, joining Avalanche Software, Black Rock Studio, Fall Line Studio, Propaganda Games, and Junction Point Studios, which was actually acquired just last year.

Indie developers, watch your backs.
