D9: Disney's Iger Says More Original IP Titles Coming From Playdom

Although Disney is still taking accounting charges for its $763.2 million acquisition of Playdom last year, the social game developer is doing well, Disney chief executive Bob Iger said today at the All Things D’s D9 conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

“We took a five month break [from launching games]. We had technical infrastructure issues that we needed to fix, but now that’s improved,” he told D’s Kara Swisher during an on-stage interview.

Going forward, Playdom will be introducing new games with original intellectual property, he said, not just with existing Disney IP.
