Each of your post offers no
value-added to the topic of discussion at hand. While you both might agree the same principle can be said of this thread, why not just let your opinion reflect to the poll itself in contrast to this thread?
I do agree with you. While they were trying explicitly to lessen the pain, ironically from each of those (maintenance) threads I had listed the majority of forums members whom had commented felt the effort was a bit out of place and simply too late - towards lessening the pain.
Not sure what argument you are referring to? This thread's purpose was for understanding to be sought and if you (and others) are going to hold it against me to publicly learn...I would say to that that you comment
just the same then to other threads/posts that seek out to gain clarity and understanding as well.
You have to understand too, Eric, that there are
many, many ways money is sought after and gained in business. Not everything is black and white (nor cut and dry nor ethical).
If Disney became just a 10 year old girl trying to sell lemonade on the corner of a street with both sign and stand, her over eager parent might also try to step in and bake a batch of choco. chip cookies to offer for sale/for free as well...simply to "entice" increased (customer) traffic and/or sales. *In my opinion, the same theory could apply to Disney in lieu of POTCO's closure. Here's why (if execs or decision-makers in Disney were talking amongst themselves to each other):
- "We could let them code the game themselves but only to a certain point. Then, when they get frustrated along with their followers...we'll have the POTC aspect of Disney Infinity (at the time) or POTC version games on mobile to convert them over completely to deepen our pockets/advance our revenue, all because they trust our brand and image!"
