Hopefully the future will get brighter. Otherwise, I foresee Disney pulling out of the 'social gaming' genre. Which would be a serious bummer.

Their most serious mistake was and always will be closing Magic Kingdom. But thanks for the info because I now know what other games Disney is involved with and I will no longer be playing those games.
Hugs and miss you

Aww :( Miss you, too!!! :bighug: You gotta let me know next time you can meet up. I'll pm you my email address. I get notices for new emails instantly.
I think you're right about VMK and Disney. They screwed up bigtime. I also think this is yet another area where Disney doesn't 'understand' how things work. They throw a bunch of money at something or take something over...without understanding how it works, what the customers want, etc. Shame. Someday MAYBE they'll learn. Then again, it's only $$ for them. If an area fails, they have plenty of money left over. Going into different areas is almost like a hobbie to them now. There's so much money coming in from other areas that it really doesn't matter to the big 'D' if one area goes south. Sigh.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
