NEWSFLASH: DI is not about a "cell phone". It's a disaster mode theme, which uses a cell phone as a prop. Don't worry, the game won't be calling you on your cell phone...

For me, the Willy Wonka license is a huge turnoff for some reason. Huge fan of the Toy Story license.

Whatever JJP decides, I hope they are successful with the next release!

Suspending a games production so soon after it's release is highly unusual (and helps validate the "not selling well" rumor).

I also "hear you" on the asset issue, however JJP includes a large/gorgeous display and it's only normal to want movie clips. Isn't it? Theme integration is one of the obvious metrics for movie pins. Stern's recent Star Wars did a great job with theme integration (both audio & video) and adds to the games appeal.

If JJP is ready to start producing their next title, I'm sure the drama will subside quickly. If not, it explains the drama for folks considering this title. For folks who have already taken delivery, not sure it matters much.

Very wishful thinking. Comparing it with MB LE is ridiculous. The R&D cost to develop an entirely new game is substantial. Pat Lawlor and team don't work for free.

As far as I can tell, JJP doesn't have a problem with it's current pricing...they build a premium product. The price reflects what you get. When I compare my DILE with IMDN Premium right next to it, the JJP product is obviously a "good value". You get what you pay for!
