Its all about money, yes even VMK has greed.

I think that we are all looking at this the wrong way. We see it as a game. Disney, and VMK see it as a money making and marketing tool. While the new Pirate movie is made by Disney, be assured that they have 2 totally different budgets and prob dont have any of the same people. VMK can make money by advertising other products in its game, such as the Kellogs games. Now think about this. We are all happy because of this new "bug" that allows us to get many codes without playing the game each time right? What if it wasent a bug? What if VMK got 1 cent for each code entered, and they are allowing us to do this. The movie people know that all the kids and adults visiting their site will make them want to see the movie more, and they see each code entered or generated as a person being forced to familiarize themselves with the Pirate movie. So at the end of the day, if people have entered 1 million codes, which is very realistic VMK just earned $10,000. Now since i have personally entered 300+ codes, and i am sure that many people are doing the same all for the common goal of getting that costume, its a way of VMK making more money off of our wanting it. After they saw the Narnia craze, and now they see this, we can rest assured that this will not be the last time they pull this kind of stunt. Its a win win for Disney, and a lose lose for us VMK'ers. Disney keeps the money within the Disney organization, and they will get more people to go see the movie, which all means more money for the greed that is Disney. Disney originally designed the game for clildren, but once they saw the much more lucrative market of adults ( lets face it, a kid can ask for items or toys, but who buys it and makes the decisions? Who plans the vacations .. adults ) and now Disney has switched gears and is using this as a tool to make more money. It has gone from a game of playing once in a while when you felt like, earn some credits and buy the new outfit, to a forced weekend at the computer, fighting lines, and playing games thousands of time, all to get a costume. Good going Disney!

it's like the Willy Wonka sweepstakes of vmk

-starts singing- i got a golden tickect
i got a golden chance to make my day
and with a golden ticket its a golden day

and the staff sing: oompa loompa doompadee doo
if you got the costume good for you
it is patience that you must have
while at all the people entering codes we must laugh
oompa loomp doompadee do!
