Disney's Fear?

Eh, back on topic (love the new avvie tho Speedy) just because we are between two movies doesn't mean we are stuck. Sure, we can't kill certain things or people, but there is much more we can do. How about incorporating our pirates into the story? If any of you have played The Force Unleashed, it takes place between episodes III and IV of Star Wars, and look. The character you play as actually MOVES the story line along. For those of you that don't know about the game, you actually help create the rebel alliance, which is a key part of those later episodes.

Sorry to sound like a total Star Wars nerd, but my point is this. What if we actually help move the setting from POTC 1 to POTC 2, actually making us PART of the story, which is even better! We aren't stuck! There are so many possibilities!

Not everyone is a fan of Star Wars. I know so many people who don't seem to know anything about SW. So there is probably something called a "Star Wars nerd"... Nothing to be embarrassed about... I am a fan too.

Agreed, Midhav! ^
Also agreed with Davy with that there are tons of possibilities. In the future there could be amazing things released in the game that we couldn't even imagine.
At least I really hope so!

Disney Interactive now has 2 bosses. Disney named James Pitaro and John Pleasants as Co-Presidents of the Disney Interactive Media Group (DIMG). They are replacing Steve Wadsworth who stepped down in September. This follows a move by Disney to acquire nearly a billion dollars in assets designed to strengthen their position in on-line content, gaming and social networking.

Pitaro come from Yahoo where he was the head of several of the website’s most popular sections, Finance, News and Sports. Pleasants was the CEO of social game developer Playdom and will continue in that role now that Disney has recently purchased Playdom for just over $700 million.

Pitaro and Pleasants are taking over DIMG at a troubled time. The LA Times claims that DIMG has been a “financial burden” to Disney and that “Wall Street has grown impatient.” The article goes on to cite that both Pixie Hollow and Pirates Online are less successful than anticipated. Club Penguin is, in essence, carrying much of Disney Interactive on its shoulders.

The most interesting point in the news release is the lack of reference to Pirates Online:


The omission of Pirates Online from Disney’s official press release might be just that. An omission. Time will tell.

I really believe that the only thing Disney is afraid of is losing money.

Is there a way of contacting these two new bosses (you know? to inform them of the plight of PotCo since it released?)?

Now, if PotCo is "less successful than anticipated", I should be worrying right now of the fate of this game

But based on what you referenced to, PotCo was of course omitted. But think about in this way. Even POtCo's "highly successful, fast progressing" game Toontown was not mentioned over. They probably stated CP and WoC's driving of the game as an example.

But either way, I believe that Disney will pump in more money for developers by the time the 4th film would have released, to make the game serve as a better marketing tool for the series. Well I'm not counting on it... but it seems to be going that way, since the famed 2nd chapter hasn't come out yet (making it seem as though they want a 2011 release).
