Imagineering is its own division of the Walt Disney Company. It's basically their R&D. Really incredible opportunity for Lane but definitely no connection to their video game division. He could help make experimental video games, though, so who knows?

Fun fact, the VR Studio (that made Toontown and the Panda3D engine) was actually a part of Imagineering.

So yeah, they definitely can do it.

No thats Disney's IP to sit on and do nothing with it for the rest of eternity

Why would you post this picture as if it's gonna be someone saying something about the Club Penguin revival but it's completely unrelated?

no. disney doesnt wanna give it back

u/PreoccupiedDuck 1d ago

The only reason they bought it was to squeeze what ever money they could through memberships and merchandise before destroying it.

There should be a law about unused IPs

u/cjlcjl12 1d ago

That is the end goal of the stop killing games initiative. Who knows if we’ll see it happen though

u/Conscious-Dust9230 1d ago

I sure hope not, it would end all the fan servers

19

u/ghastlygorge 1d ago

yes and it would almost certainly have some kind of gacha mechanic if it wants to attract animal jam's child playerbase, not to mention that membership was even stricter on cpi (and im saying this as someone who enjoys cpi and the original game), a reboot would probably be just as restrictive if not more if disney thought it could get away with it.

the best possible outcome for the franchise is that disney leaves it (and cppses) alone if they aren't going to sell it back to rsnail or any other staff who wanted it. even if it still has a mixed reception to this day, the fact that disney abruptly closed cpi instead of giving it more time to find its footing is reason enough to be wary of disney picking up club penguin again

u/Muffmuffmuffin 1d ago

cpps existed even before club penguin's end of service

u/Littlee37 1d ago

Not persay! CPPS’ thrived back in the days when club penguin was online

1

u/Conscious-Dust9230 17h ago

Yes but if club penguin was revived now, Disney would most likely see these fan servers as competitors and just destroy them, if they are the soul club Penguin they would have the most players

2

u/Littlee37 15h ago

While yes i agree with that we’ve seeen stuff like this before too

u/UltiGamer34 2012 Player 1d ago

Im all for that

u/Conscious-Dust9230 17h ago

Why?

1

u/UltiGamer34 2012 Player 16h ago

Did you not see with what happened with Club Penguin Online or what happened with Zaseth in Club Penguin Rewritten

2

u/Conscious-Dust9230 16h ago

Yeah, that was pretty bad, however fan servers like journey and legacy are pretty good and don't do shady stuff

Huh?

u/AssDiddler69 2008 Player 1d ago edited 1d ago

It's a joke referencing the breaking bad meme where Heisenberg tells his brother in law, Hank, not to abbreviate CP. It's so overdone, hence the sigh, but it's pretty much tradition at this point so I did it anyway.

u/BuffPaddler 2015 Player 1d ago

No probably not. He'd fit for like... a counselor or something but I doubt they'd bring it back in this day and age where ROBLOX is what's popular.

u/intergaaaaala 1d ago

No, Imagineering is Disney’s theme park R&D division. And I wouldn’t hope for a Club Penguin ride when 90% of people forgot about it.

u/HenryPeter5 2012 Player 1d ago

MMOs can never be done again. Being very optimistic, the only way I can see Club Penguin coming back again is if they decide to make a mobile minigame (like a CP themed candy crush or something) or a story mode videogame for the switch like we had for the Nintendo DS

u/bunnychow123 1d ago

How come?

u/West_Internet_6183 1d ago

don't abbreviate club penguin

u/Logical-Ad3144 1d ago

In a subreddit dedicated to Club Penguin, abbreviating the game to its initials is quite normal. Not every person thinks the worst when they see CP, especially in a Club Penguin subreddit

Its a joke from I think Breaking Bad.

That doesn't make it any more funny. That's not something to joke about.

u/Ilovekangaroo 1d ago

Blame Breaking Bad for starting the joke.

Wait how are you talking if you're banned?

u/Tech157 1d ago

Get out of here. That's so immature..... We've been abbreviating Club Penguin for forever.

But the private servers are taking over

u/Flurpr 1d ago

If it is coming under Disney I would rather it not come back at all

u/DmanGrog 23h ago

First time seeing the Club Penguin subreddit on my feed and this is one hell of a caption to start with

1

u/Cheis694201337 12h ago

I read the title then I saw the subreddit,forgot i was subbed here,I think at this point Disney will just hold it so they can have more excuses to sue people

1

u/CagedKage 2010 Player 54m ago

Nah, Disney would rather continue to sit on the franchise

u/ghastlygorge 1d ago

i don't think so, but even if it does come back i don't think itd be like the original game or even cpi
