If Disney didn't buy Club Penguin, it's a bit unlikely that the founders would've found a company which would've opened up so many opportunities for Club Penguin - such as merchandise, international expansion and rebooting the brand when it hit decline. Club Penguin's audience and technology was declining in 2017, therefore I think a closure by the end of the year was inevitable really. If you think Club Penguin Island isn't for you, that's okay. But please appreciate that at least Club Penguin is alive in some form today rather than having faded out forever. Disney haven't completely given up on Club Penguin - meanwhile I think you'd find a lot of other companies with a declining product like Club Penguin would end up getting rid of the brand entirely and focus on other products.
