Would you pay for VMK?

I don't think I'd pay to play VMK even with vast improvements (and those improvements would have to be delivered before I would even consider paying to play). For starters, the games would have to work on my Mac and browsers other than Safari would have to be supported for Mac. Next on my list would be better service so I wouldn't get disconnected constantly. And I still would want more things fixed before I'd pay to play.

There are plenty of other free sites available. I like the logic games on Neopets, I'm rather good at that sort of thing. Shooting games are a waste for me, I stink at them. I still play them but not very often. I played Galaga for years and still stink at it! Given VMK has mostly shooting games, it wouldn't be worth paying for in my opinion. Heck, we have the Sims and Roller Coaster Tycoon on our non-Mac computer. I even have some strategy games for the Mac. I'd rather start playing those than pay for VMK. Almost forgot, we have several game consoles and games to go with them (from Atari 2600 to PS2!). I even have Dance Dance Revolution with a nice dance pad! I guess what I'm trying to say is I have plenty of other options beyond VMK and I'd rather take advantage of them than pay for VMK.

That said, I do enjoy playing VMK and hope they continue to offer it as a free service. I spend tons of time playing VMK so obviously they are doing some things right! I do hope they get the problems with events fixed so we can all stop complaining about that stuff.

I would only consider paying if they really (and I mean really) stepped up the game. I would want way more games and more ways to interact in the game (less restrictions). As it stands now, no I wouldn't pay, too many bugs and not enough bells and whistles to merit me handing over $. I really can't see them ever charging for it though, it just doesn't seem designed that way. What I can see them doing is adding more cool things that you must go to the park to get or enjoy that are connected to VMK. I suspect they have already increased the attendance of locals to parks. All that pays for the game and then some!

With the rising cost of living in this country these days. The price of disney merchandise, stocks, theme park tickets, and cruises. Let's not offer up our hard earned duckets to the VMK gods. I personaly feel that Disney can afford to give a little back. Espeacial since the VMK is a clever marketing ploy to get kids to talk momy and daddy into trowin down some lettuce on a vacation to you local happiest place on earth.

from a bisness stand point i say BRAVO
as far as paying to play there commercial i say nay
