...why we never heard back from Disney?

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) interactive managed to contribute just $9 million to Disney's operating profit last quarter, by far the lowest of its five business segments.

I'm pretty sure it's still too soon to comment on the fact that we haven't heard anything yet. And you could argue this article both ways: on the flip side of it, if that's how the competition runs, why shouldn't they want to pick up a title with a certain amount of guarantee?
