Club penguin shutting down was probably the most devastating.

[RavineAlastor-pl]

They are literally the biggest example of "if i cant have it, nobody can"

[Zealdesu]

The reason company doesn't let people play after it got shut down isn't because they're gonna lose money
It's because they're not gonna get any

[shanshansan]

MMOs treat their players like Nintendo does when they see an irl person named Mario

It’s a quirk of law, if the companies don’t defend their trademarks/copyrights, there’s the potential for them to lose them entirely, which is something that they want to avoid

[dominichines]

Honestly it's probably the companies' lawyers trying to justify their paychecks

Club penguin explanation: It's Disney, they don't like other people being happy or making money.

Club Penguin shutting down was the worst thing to happen this century

Toontown Rewritten resurrected the original, added new content, balance changes, amazing 3rd party support, and is all free. Love the whole TTR team

Lego Universe was unironically my favorite childhood game

[DorcupiGames]

Someone needs to make a revival project that changes JUST enough that it can't be DMCA'd

[Antnyyyy]

you just unlocked the deepest core memory i remember crying to my mom when lego universe closed down she took a picture of me and emailed them asking to open it back up 😭

[kleiner]

I miss Lego universe so bad! It was the most joy I ever had in a MMO

[thatcal]

They have to enforce their copyright to still "own" it. It's a strange legal thing

[elisenielsen]

Rip Lego universe
That was the biggest loss I ever experienced

[heradow]

This sort of thing happened with Monkey Quest, it's a real shame

[lucasfraczek]

The day Warframe shuts down will be the day I experience true heartbreak...
