The State of the Game, December 2009

This is do or die time for Disney, and if there is nothing new by April, its VMK all over again.

I would agree ex8404 and each of these "sections/departments" of Disney do not feed each other. Disneyworlds profits do not feed into POTCO or thier movie sections. All of these are separate busness communities. Each area has a budget and a profit margin they have to maintain. I would have to do some research but POTCO may even be 3rd party subsidiary owned or just funded by Disney. So just because a Disney movie does well or the themepark has a record year doesn't mean anything to POTCO.

I agree that the ecomony has a lot of businesses doing more with less. It doesn't mean they are not trying, working hard and doing thier best. This industry is tough and developers are usually expected to put in extra hours as a matter of course.

I fully dispute you Swordshot that Disney doesn't care or that they are not trying to make us happy. Disney POTCO is doing what it can to provide us with entertainment. I personally think they are doing a great job and have re-upped my annual Unlimited membership.

Well, to me, PiratesOnline = Fail. It is sad for me to say that because I used to play the game so much. The only thing I go onto for now are my friends, and just walking around doing nothing. And, in fact, I haven't been on in maybe 2 or 3 weeks. I lost count. I turned basic and I'm level 43 waiting for the story quest so I can level with that instead. I expect Disney to raise the level cap to 60 when they release the story quest. I mean, what would be in the story quest for the 50 leveled pirates? ( I also stopped playing because of so much lag )
