[HammyTheSquirrel]

I just got this email from Disney today. o_o (i'm not much of a player or fan... but it's still a little shocking)

(At least I get free membership status... )

I wonder what will happen after it's gone. If they'll leave it like that, without any games coming in its place, or if they have one in the works (i mean.... there's always the possibility... )

I'm honestly not surprised. I thought the movies were HORRIBLE.

[Ducky Wucky]

I think the movies were pretty good, I just think that this game didn't have a lot going for it. Should have had a stronger community aspect.

Oh well.
Give me VMK and I'll be a happy bloke!

Start working here more Disney... Cars is just another example of a fail MMO from Disney. If they put more effort into this we can get ourselves a reputation going.
