Pirates playset developed by Studio Gobo

A couple of different websites have shared the news this morning that the Pirates playset is being developed by an outside company. This would explain why each playset is like its own game. They're not simply created by different teams, but possibly by entirely different studios!

Studio Gobo has a history with Disney Interactive.

The studio was formed by the original founders of Black Rock Studio which was acquired by Disney Interactive in 2006. After Black Rock's release of the Disney racing games Pure and Split/Second, the studio was closed to be later re-formed as the independent developer, Studio Gobo.

Do we know yet how many playsets will fit on a disc? They seem pretty big.

^ Disney Infinity is supposed to be like its own mini-platform with its own games, right? Hopefully that indicates that there will be a decent-sized library of playsets/games.
