And anyone who has had the frustration of dealing with any of the Disney websites knows that their focus is not on IT
. If anything they really should beef up at least their websites. I ended up buying Disney products from Amazon this year just because I couldn't take the glitchy Disney Store website. I'm pretty sure I actually paid more, but I got so frustrated I didn't care.
So was Avatar.
I never said Disney is attempting to be an IT company. What I said was an IT project this massive should be developed entirely through an IT company that's worlds more massive than the project on its own, such as behemoths like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Facebook, Cisco, etc. Those sort of companies have their own money to invest and this sort of project would be "small" for them and would benefit them more than it would Disney. Look at what Google is spending wiring cities and homes with fiber optic cables, for example. Disney would participate in the project in a partnership role, not a developer role.
I miss AE! It was actually originally designed for DL's original TL makeover that got canned. It was also a pet project if Eisner, but had to be redone a couple of times because Eisner was not happy with how it came out the first few tries, adding cost and delays to the project. And, after all that, Eisner fell out of love with it and ordered its kid-friendly replacement!
They can't do that. What else will there be to look forward to?
Agreed, but they created a monster that cannot be killed quickly. FP+, in my opinion, is the start of the slow death of FP. Hope I live long enough to see it cause I do so love to be right.
