Realistically, the Disney thing is just barely off the starting blocks.  I have said MANY times we don't expect to hear ANYTHING out of them until, at MINIMUM, the first week in January.

I realize people want instant answers and instant gratification, but this is like looking at a fertile chicken egg for a week, saying, "naw, not gonna hatch," and pulling it out of the incubator.

I think part of the impatience is because of Disney's recent purchases - even though the Marvel and Star Wars deals would have taken months of planning and negotiation, they were very much under the radar until the announcements were made, which created an impression of Disney making "instant" purchases.

That is very possibly true, heh.
Also, I wouldn't mind seeing this in our future:

I think it's also the thought that the sooner the better, and throwing all of our eggs at the same wall may not be effective if that all lacks sufficient texture to stop them from sliding down.

I think I got the metaphor there wrong again.

I still say the best Golden Girl avatar was one that GG didn't even use. bAss_ackwards and his vandalized GG icon always gave me a chuckle.

That wasn't a mixed metaphor, that was scrambled.

We need to NOT "disrespect" the biggest players in the game by scattershotting the pitch.  We need to respect their gravitas by giving them right of first refusal, and the time to ponder.  We also need to NOT start a bidding war.  That would be bad, as it could lead to "buyer's remorse," or to seeing CoH as nothing but a cash cow to monetize the heck out of.
I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido
