An interesting read for anyone playing VMK

[Maleficent2]

Yanover is a seasoned Disney executive who has held senior positions with Walt Disney Studios, Buena Vista Games and WDPRO. During his three-year tenure in his current post as senior vice president and general manager, WDPRO, e-commerce sales have more than tripled. Yanover was also responsible for developing and launching Virtual Magic Kingdom, Disney's online multi-player adventure game that allows Disney fans to experience the magic of Disney Theme Parks from their own home..

So it seems our dear Yavn is not who we thought he was

Maybe they need to reread their own press releases.

I think we have discussed this before ..... I know who Paul Yanover is.

I know that Paul Yanover IS NOT Yavn. I do know Yavn real name.


What I meant by Yavn is not who we thought he was is....Yavn has always been reported as being the creator and driving force behind VMK this article contradicts that.

I never thought he was creator....he had told me he was the producer of the game or something like that.

Sorry guess I'm dense here too. Was Yavn from Sulake? I thought that Sulake assisted with the development of VMK also, and thats how Yavn fit in to the picture. Is that correct, or am I totally wrong on that too?

Yavn as far as I can gather from internet research used to work for Sulake but now works for the WDIG(Walt Disney Internet Group)and Mr.Yanover is his boss or the head suit at WDIG.

Disney's online multi-player adventure game that allows Disney fans to experience the magic of Disney Theme Parks from their own home..

that is the part of the press release I thought maybe they should have Plastered on the walls at VMK headquarters. Key word "Magic"

It could also be the "never seen in VMK" VMK_Bear. I tried to ask Runo about him, and he said he's not allowed to talk about that staff member... something fishy's going on
