    A pirate MMO! . . . made by Disney . . . awwww crap. I suspect this game will be too PC to be enjoyable. I am thinking like Pirates of the 6th Grade School Holloween Dance.

  4. New game genre by Yeechang+Lee · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hey, at least it isn't a simple World of Warcraft clone. On the contrary, this will be the first game in the nascent "MMO-Arrgh!-PG" genre.

  6. A game for pirates? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    Wow, a game entirely for a pirate audience... How are they going to make money out of that? Shouldn't they actually market games to people who PAY? Oh wait, not THOSE pirates...

    Once the RIAA and MPAA find out Disney is sanctioning piracy -- it's game over
