Wow, 12, Disney may change there minds yet.....

I bet if VMK fans petitioned to throw characters all over the game, Disney would reconsider....

"VMK is not just a game; it's a community," said Christopher Douglas, the protest's organizer. "Our real life is in this game."


Wow.....just wow.....

I think it is over the top, but whatever. People do what they want. I know I've done what seems crazy to other people.

This is all rather pathetic in my opinion. It's also fascinating to observe, for some reason.

It's a video game. It's free. You had no written contract or sales agreement with Disney to provide this service to you. If anything, I imagine there is a written contract on the website that states the game can be discontinued at any time at Disney's decision.

And now, it's over. I can totally understand being bummed out about the free game you've enjoyed for years going away soon. That's very understandable. But to then turn it around and blame Disney and stage a protest in front of Disneyland on a Saturday morning with attention grabbing slogans on big signs.... well that's just in poor taste. And really, it just speaks to an inability to get a grasp on reality.

There are many things in this world of 8 Billion people that are worth protesting about. The end of a free video game is not one of them. Disney owes you absolutely nothing.
