Disney did kind of cause the decrease of players. Membership used to be something to buy if you really liked Club Penguin and just wanted more. But now you need membership to play half of the game. Another thing I noticed- the art style of penguins changed when Disney bought Club Penguin. (Mostly shading and beak shape)
