Disney shutting down all their iconic mmos always makes me sad

I was all aboard the first few expansions, The Freezing Crusade and Wrath of the Lich Peng, but as soon as Mists of Penguaria released, I checked out.

"Building CP from the core up is not something which we have seen done-" yeah thank god because CP usually means something else entirely. That caught me off guard.

Your videos makes hearing about dead games and dreams a delightful experience.

Maybe I spent too much time on 4Chan as a teenager, but I have to say this was a weird, slightly uncomfortable watching experience with "CP" constantly being mentioned. Kinda funny too.

God dame Disney shutting down this classic game for another, worse game, they simply shut down later.

Club Penguin will always have a place in my heart, where I'll remember it fondly. RIP

Hopefully you do a video on VMK - Virtual Magic Kingdom, which was Disney's OFFICIAL, direct competition to Club Penguin. It was literally the exact same game, a flash based social hub with minigames meant for an audience of kids but everything was Disneyland theme'd. Funnily enough, Disney actually bought Club Penguin 9 months before shutting down VMK in 2007, which screams very obviously that the reason they shut it down was to focus on Club Penguin. Feel like that would be an important piece to the Club Penguin story and why Disney did the things they did with Club Penguin.

The use of "CP" jump scared the shit outta me looool

This is the first game I truly experienced that you covered here. As a part of the well known "flash generation", who also grew without a console up until 2011, I LOVED that game as a kid, kinda obsessed with it and the cute puffles and the vegetarian polar bear... but I noticed the game started to have a bit of a downfall when stuff that used to be free became paid content, which even my 13 year old me could understand as unfair. I'm sure after that point I moved to Wii, then 3DS, then the abyss who is LoL and Mobile, then recovered. It's just a great place where people was just ridiculous and the minigames creative. I wouldn't say is MMO game, not RPG in the current meaning, but a Multiplayer Online and OG definition of Role-Play Game, and that made the game unique.

I grew up playing this as a kid, it was a nice escape from family drama and was the first place I got to express myself as a girl. I remember collecting a lot of stuff in the game and even collecting the trading card game IRL. Hearing that it was being shut down made me very sad.

Dropped to my knees in the middle of a Walmart parking lot

My little brother and his friends use to play this when they were kids He passed at age 21 in 2020😔 Thanks for the uploads

Is this really the 100th video in the series? If so, congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Step 1: try not to cry Step 2: cry a lot

Being in elementary school and playing Club Penguin and Webkinz was a great time!

F. Waddle on, my boyos.

I'm really hopeful that Box Critters does well. The same creator behind both, a similar vibe to both, but now Lance Priebe/Rocket Snail has WAY more experience making games and can make Box Critters the best product possible without the Disney "agenda" forcing crossovers into the game every other month and the absolute need to profit constantly. If Box Critters can become the Club Penguin 2 that never was, I'll be very happy. We need to honor Club Penguin's legacy in some way, and with fan run private servers being controversial to say the least, Box Critters may be the best way to do that.

Already feeling the nostalgia thanks to the thumbnail alone :”)

This one has been a long time coming. The death of this icon with never be forgotten. Also in regards to Disney targeting CP reworks feels the same as Cartoon Network targeting FusionFall reworks. If they were in it for the money they would just hire these people on and restart the franchise. They just do it because copyright laws can be total BS sometimes, and they are salty that someone else did a better job then they could.

I beg you all to not abreviate Clup Penguin.

me listening to this video in public:

This game was a big part of my life in 2008 - 2010. I loved it. Before it was disconnected, I played it around 2017.

Oh man I played this so much back in the day. It was such a cute little game and I was really sad to hear when it closed. Having a safe online space to socialize is a good experience for kids in the internet age to have imo.

This game raised me better than my biological dad did.

I remember growing up with club penguin, I had left by the time there was the more blatant Disney additions, but I still enjoyed every minute of it. Also abbreviating Club Penguin as c p made a lot of the sentences sound off, especially if taken out of context... Though all it did was make me laugh :)

You have a strong point about how the game stopped innovating. This is especially true in terms of the minigames. Why could Disney not come up with new tracks in Cart Surfer or new areas for the Ice Fish minigame.

I’m surprised Disney hasn’t tried to make a CP movie yet. I feel like it’s a no brainer.

Cp was said too many times here's man I felt uncomfortable by the end lmao

I still wait to see you do a video on UruLive, a Myst MMO (Yes, a puzzle MMO) that actually died at least twice before currently continuing on in a fan-run server that is officially endorsed by the developers themselves. AND STILL GETS UPDATED.

I'm logged in to New Club Penguin as this premiers so I feel like some sort of penguin necromancer

Man, i miss playing card-jitsu games and exploring newly added places on map...

you calling Club Penguin "CP" makes me uncomfortable

I love CP🤩🤩🐧🐧

According to the community manager at the time, the team pitched a new game in the world op CP which got greenlit, only for CPI to shut down 2 months later and the team being fired

Its weird to think that Club Penguin hasnt existed for almost 7 years now. It was a massive part of my childhood, and I do miss it a bit. Some of the other games from my childhood like Skoodle or Skooville have been mostly forgotten, it was a website / game that primary schools would sign you up to in the UK.

watching this and realizing I actually remember playing penguin football chat, and when club penguin originally launched on miniclip. As a kid penguins were my favorite animal, it was so crazy when club penguin came out, it was like they had made a game just for me. Seeing what has become of it really breaks my heart. I swear every year of adulthood another part of my childhood dies.

nerdslayer: "disney..." ah, case closed...

The number of things that Disney has manged to milk dry and than abandon are frightening and fascinating at the same time.

Me loving Club Penguin as a kid is probably the reason I'm so attached to this other game called Sky. The game is simple as Club Penguin was, with the feature of customizing your avatar and the main feature of the game being a social MMO. These two share those feats, alongside some kind of big world but that is also built by rooms in some way. Club Penguin was really important to me in my childhood and seeing how it fell down makes me rather sad.

The amount of times I got banned from this game as a child, LOL.

Love putting your content on at work. Perfect for tedious work, with a story of famous or infamous games.

Just call it Club Penguin 😂

playing this game as my parents screamed at each other before their divorce was peak childhood

I was a very little kid when this game was popular and i didnt quite speak english back then. I remember i couldnt do like anything in the game, i managed to try 2 really bad minigames in a few hours. Then i went back to play a good and intuitive pc game like half life or counter strike.😂

Fantastic video! But using the acronym "cp" probably wasn't the best choice 😂😅👶

No matter the genre or media, there's one formula to rule them all; if (CaseInvolves(Disney)) { reason = Disney; }

Hyena's already? that has got to the fastest death of any game i've seen.

I’ve always wondered what killed this. Never knew

If the Death of a Game video makes me sad. Then it really proves how much that game means to me :(

Every time you acronymed Club Penguin it made me laugh XD Having said that youtube's bots might take that for another word w/o context You might wanna reupload after changing that for peace of mind juuuuust incase

They're fighting Herbert in heaven my little pengwads

Club Penguin has a very unfortunate acronym especially for a childs game.

Shout out to the time I was actually able to get one of those "free item generators" to work and hacked a Red Lei for my penguin. Good old days.

i cracked every time you said "cp" lol

Im 18 and I fr miss this game, even now I would play it when I don't have stuff to do, kinda sad that rewritten got shut down because it was the only good "copy"

I don't know why I'm on such a Club Penguin kick lately, I've never even played it (I was a Toontown kid) but all these videos that have been coming out about it lately are just so fascinating to me.

Oh no, i wasnt ready to see this, the memories man, the friends i made in that game, now its gone 😭

Hui, is the next case "Hyenas"? The game from Sega and Creative Assembly that got scrapped before it even fully released?

Club penguin journey is as good as rewritten and it has no ads.

I would love to the death of a game: Pirates of the Caribbean Online

This one's gonna hurt. Waddle on, fellas.

Wild hearing "The Magic of CP" 💀

Internet has ruined me. Was laughing the whole video

I LOVE CLUB PENGUIN! Club Penguin will live on forever and ever, it will never die, in 50 years there will still be club penguin and even if there's no internet by then for some reason, we will group up and play club penguin as a tabletop.

I really enjoyed the heck out of Club Penguin but I noticed they eventually locked more and more content behind membership even old minigames like the jetpack one. I clearly remembered I was able to play that from start to finish but when I came to to play it again sometime later, they locked the rest of the levels. As a kid back then, my parents do not really trust purchasing membership online. So I was stuck waddling around and slowly losing more stuff to do and eventually moved on to Runescape.

This and Gaia were my favorite online games when I was younger

My friends and i bonded by watching CP videos on utube back in the day.

When I played Club Penguin as a kid, I think I had a blatant misunderstanding as to what the game was. I NEVER used any of the social aspects. I just played the mini-games a lot and took care of puffles. I also played the Wii game. And to me, that felt pretty similar to how I played the PC game. But since I never used the social aspect for the PC game, I quit after about a year or year and a half. I'm surprised pre-teen me spent so long in Club Penguin without doing anything social.

Where were you when club penguin is kill? :(

I miss Club Penguin so much…..

The madlad did it.

the intro animation is everything

The studio behind Club Penguin was local to me. I know some people who got paid the big cash money when Disney bought them out.

Okay, I just put it together. You, like me, also used to stay up to/wake up at like 5 fucking am with adult swim on and would watch that same stupid awesome show where you'd basically never actually be able to solve it using the clues the show itself gave. God, great show.

wake up babe, new nerdslayer upload

The fact that the KZfaq algorithm hasn’t picked up on this video is insane to me

Man this was such a nostalgia bomb. WADDLE ON!

Used to play club penguin and do ninja challenges for the badges and outfits, good times.

24 minutes of life for me to relive. Amazing video essay.

I loved playing Club Penguin as a kid, and to be honest, I was a little obsessed with it. So when it shut down, even though I hadn't played it a lot in the few years prior, I was still very upset about it. It felt like I had lost a part of my childhood. When they launched Club Penguin Island, I didn't have a mobile device that supported the game, so I was unable to play it, but eventually it released on PC. When I eventually tried it, I realized how stripped down the free to play experience was compared to the original game. It felt like it was a cash grab for Disney to try to squeeze all they could from the IP. You could essentially only walk around and chat. Though closer to the shut down of the game, they had unlocked more features for the free to play players, but at that point they had alienated most of their fanbase already. Currently I play on some private servers from time to time, but it doesn't entirely feel like it's the same. This is likely because they are essentially just hosting the original game, it feels like it's frozen in time, though maybe with some small updates here and there. Also, the playerbase is not as big as it used to, so it can be hard to fully enjoy parts of the game that required interactions with other players.

The most weird thing that was never brought up was that another company that was in talks about buying club penguin before Disney was Sony, I wonder what the timeline where Sony bought club penguin instead of Disney would have looked like.

Not me Giggling like an Idiot every time you say CP. "2013 marked a Shift in CP culture"

When "CP" makes things awkward out of context

I feel like you said "turn of the century" to describe 2000 to make me feel old >.>

the game is still up, a group of peeps revived it and is slowly bringing all content back

Man I miss Club Penguin. The first online game I actually was invested in.

I spent most of my early childhood on clup penguin. I rember those days trying to uncover hidden rooms on the map, or even try to tip that Ice burg. Unfortunately i left club penguin some time around when the dinosaur event ended and before the star wars event started. I never got the chance to log on one more time to see them finally tip the iceberg and see the send off. In fact i did not know it was shutdown till 2020

Can you do a video on Brink? It was such a cool game conceptually that came to no fanbase.

Rip. This game made my childhood awesome it's been 15 year,i missed the game alot🥹

Club penguin helped me to see that I am not a guy who can have 2 girlfriends.

Always preferred Puffin Party, great way to chill out after a day riding on Rubber Dinghy Rapids at Alton Towers

I've heard you talk about this title a lot over the years so it's cool to see it reviewed. I missed this one for some reason as a kid.

I remember playing this mmo game back in the day, me and my younger brother would usually asked my mom to create accounts for us, (because i didn't have my own google account at the time) we only have 7 days to wadding around the game. Until that last weekend. It was the last day of this game, i remember seeing ton of videos of bunch players gathering saying farewell to each other. After the shutdown of club penguin, i created my own google account. To this day i still have the permission slip of my club penguin account in my email.

This was legit my childhood. I would beg my parents for membership every month and grind the mine cart game for gold lmao

As much as I'd hate to admit it, but that reference to The Far Side took me back, as I never played this game. Old and all

Is it possible for you to make a video about Growtopia? it used to be a beloved childhood MMO i grew up with, but nowadays it's become a shell of its former self. There are many sources you can look into, that can help with investigating the death of Growtopia too! I've yet to see a big channel speak about the game.

You called my Club Penguin a meme? A MEME????

Excellent video on a nostalgic title from many childhoods. I’ll always be thankful for the memories the game provided me.
