Bug like I said I didn't mean for my little rant to be a knock on your post although I know it is probably hard to believe it since it is so in tune to what you were saying.
I guess at the end of the day everyone wanted different things from VFK, some wanted something new and fresh, some wanted a duplicate, some wanted things somewhere in between, and what stinks is when there are people who didn't get what they want. I for now am content and am ok with how it has gone so far, and for others the fireworks game probably was peoples "last straw" and will cause them to "change the channel", which is ok, as that happens in life but know they will be missed.
Now to speak about Disney having issues with this...I am curious to see how that one plays out. I would love to know how they can get away with such a blatent copy of the VMK product, yet have seen it done in the past in the video game industry with no repercussions. I mean Disney chose to pull their product off the market, so in my mind if Disney cared so much about what they had they wouldn't have gotten rid of it to begin with. Yet at the end of the day it will come down to money. If VFK makes a motherload of cash, Disney will step in and get their free check. If it doesn't make a lot and basically skirts along, then it just proves the Disney powers that be, just really didn't care about us and only did care about the cash.
