2. Like i said in 1. they just wanna get more money, thats why they created this game with EXTREMELY high ammount of features that require membership. ( And kinda overpriced membership )

Why are you seeing Disney trying to get more money as a flaw, that I don't understand. What do you think Disney makes these games for? For profit of course. Every company does that. Think about it: Why waste at least 2.5 years to develop this game if you are going to make everything free? Club Penguin clearly wasn't earning well compared to 5-6 years before, so they had to switch up strategies. The game had become a meme, most of the playerbase were people who wanted to troll kids online and a very minority paid for memberships.

So what Disney did was scrap the PC and Mobile Club Penguin and make a new game only focusing on mobile devices. Because as technology grew today's young generations started using handheld devices like mobile phones or tablets, iPads, those kinda stuff. Those devices seem far more easier to use than PCs so kids play with them. Those kids had their parents' money in their grasp. Disney took advantage of this and published Club Penguin Island where literally everything is subscription-locked. So what do the kids do now? They cry to their parents and parents desperately start throwing money to Disney. In the end, it's Disney who takes the cake and runs away with it. And that one company, my friend, will not end support on CPI in the upcoming years because they gain from it and they wasted much of their effort into it. Believe me or not, some nostalgics won't stop them from gaining money over CPI. Even if the game is terrible or not. Some people who have their entire opinion based on nostalgic are severely hurting Club Penguin. Not all the critics of this new game are they, and not all nostalgics, but only ones who say Old CP was better and "nostalgia this" and "nostalgia that".
