Content: There’s obviously a lot more to the story than that. But at the end of the day, it comes down to a financial statement. Games are run as businesses, which is why so many mobile games get shuttered even with a dedicated fanbase. When a game isn’t profitable, it has to get shut down. The huge downside to all of this (for any game) is that there’s a fanbase left out in the cold. That’s why so many players end up turning to piracy. It’s hard to blame them for wanting to play the games they love. But in the case of Club Penguin, private servers are not a good idea at all. The entire Club Penguin world was built around safety for younger players. Having some anonymous admins running pirate servers leaves little to no accountability for user safety.
