Pretty Awesome Huh?

Thats a very nice find, though I am way to tired to learn into my computer screen, and read what it says.

wow were did u find it?? do you know the actual news paper where it came from?? and if anyone can supersize (LOL) it so we can read it better??

The article came out around or near beta. I definitely remember seeing the article before. Can't remember the newspaper though...

Oh have a different aritcle saved. It was from DNM (Disny News Monthly, It was an old disney newspaper). But this one, I have no clue about.

can you post the article on here??

I would, but I have the acctualy article, like in the paper. But If I can atempt toget my scanner to work, I'll see if I can post it.

Sounds like a fun game. I think I'll give it a try!

This article is from Addweek. Maybe, we could go into their archieves see if we can see this article better.

All references I have found to this article are in archive and require either a trial membership, or payment to see the article.

It's owned by Advertising Age of which AdWeek is a subsidary.

I remember looking for the actual article a while back and not having much success. AdvertisingAge does have it in its archives, but you need to be a member to access it.

There's one site that gives you a trial membership to read the article, but that doesn't do any good for posting the link here (I'm sure the mods would appreciate not breaking copyright laws posting the whole thing :) ).

I think we all can imagine what it talks about, even if you can't read every word.

I'm not having any trouble reading it in the image posted in this thread. You all need to get your eyes checked or something.

I loved the part that said it was aimed primarily at 7-to-12 year olds. Ouch, that hurt!

Well, I found it on google images so, google lets us use their images, so, it's not tenichally copyrighting. ;)

There is this wrap-up article from a vitual game conference in NYC. http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20070423/chen_04.shtml

Our senior brand leaders at Disney allowed us to be "market" vs. "marketing" driven - and really let us build the world for our targeted audience. Tweens told us they didn't want the "Fab 5" (Mickey, Minnie, etc.) characters in VMK, so they aren't there; they told us "no parades", so there are none.

So it's the tweens' fault!

So it's the tweens' fault!

Can we get a recount?????????????

Hey! Don't get mad at us! Not all of us thought that way! ;)
