Well, if there was ever a sign that TRON 2.0 the movie isn't coming it's the fact that the TRON 2.0 site for the games is GONE!
A friend at Disney sent me notification this morning that it's been removed and redirected to Buena Vista Games. (So far it just shows a 'Page Can't be Found' message for me though)
Well, there goes another page of my life. Farewell TRON 2.0.

Now I wish I had saved some of their site graphics. They had some nice art for some of the pages.

Man, Disney so f'd this up.
If it were me calling the shots, you would've seen wide-screen advertisements for this game in the movie theaters, and it would've been all over the Sci-Fi network and Cartoon Network, especially Adult Swim.
We would've definitely had a feature-filled expansion pack, too. The full original TRON movie in game form, and maybe even a little something that took place inbetween the movie and TRON 2.0 to show what the system was like at the time.
It just goes to show you the people at the top aren't always the sharpest tools in the shed. They're just tools.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

I have a copy of the hi-res clip that was supposed to be shown in theatres in front of several Disney films.
The story I heard was that the cost to get Disney Feature to put those trailers in was prohibitive. Disney Synergy at it's finest. Screw one division to make a buck and watch a great game die.

Odd that Disney turned out that way. It was because of their foresight and willingness to try new things despite a possible box office failure that gave us Tron in the first place.
Such a shame.

Am I shocked? No.
Disappointed? Hell yes!
Disney is no longer the Disney we knew and loved growing up. Michael Eisner has seen to that personally.
I hate to see dreamers like Steve Lisberger have to be held to reality by suits in Hollywood that think they know what's gonna sell.
Truly a shame.

Very odd...and sad...
At least I saved the soothing relaxing background music .
The cost of maintaining that site must have been insignificant...why delete it? Furthermore that Slave Labor is working on a Tron comic, it could have been so easy to plug the game in the comic, at least that was my plan.
Maybe they'll release a new site soon, who knows, lets hope

I LIKED THAT SITE!!!!
That was what made me NEED to play the game! Then, I downloaded the demo thingy and it DIDN"T WORK on my computer.
But, it seems to make sense that they got-rid of the site. When I went looking for the game, I went to Fry's, and they hadn't even heard of it.
I'm sad now....where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online ==

You know, this really, really sucks. This is my favorite game, and that was a very cool site. The music WAS very relaxing. My question is, if Disney doesn't want to have it hosted, why don't they let someone else foot the bill, like Tron-Sector?
If Disney is not interested in Tron anymore, why don't they give it up? Sell the rights to Steve L, I say, or if they really don't care, then give the rights to him. He deserves it, since it is his life's work. Disney is so out of touch with reality.
Someone should put together the fragments of that site.

Yep - it sucks, big time!
Disney is a strange animal. They have made it very clear that they are not interested in TRON at all, period. Unfortunately, they'll hold on to the rights of it until the day they no longer exist, I'm sure.  Once they own something, they'll never let it go. They'll shelf it indefinitely and let it rot. Perhaps for the right price, they might sell the rights... but I doubt any entity could afford what they might ask.
In terms of rebuilding the  site, I don't think Disney would take kindly to that. They might ignore it, but something tells me that they'd shut it down through legal channels. Again, I believe Disney is happier owning TRON and letting it rot, than allowing anyone else to keep it alive - at least in the sense of someone else hosting the previous material of the official TRON 2.0 site.
Oh, and welcome to TRON-Sector!

Before everyone thinks Tron 2.0 is dead someone should start up a site called Tron20.net.
I know nobody ever really listens to me at this site, but Tron2.0 upholds the very Tron name itself!!!  where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

As long as Disney owns that address, no one else can use it.
Though you could create a similar address (provided Disney hasn't bought those, too). Like "tron-20.net".
I definitely have the music from the site saved somewhere, and I think I saved the flash menu too (with the buttons and constantly changing screenshots). But I don't have the rest.
