The Walt Disney Company has shut down the latest attempt to reboot the popular children’s video game Club Penguin.
Club Penguin Rewritten, a private server hosting the popular online video game, shut down Wednesday after Disney issued a copyright request to the fan website. The website offered an alternative method for playing the massively multiplayer video game after the game’s servers were shut down in 2017. Three people were reportedly arrested in connection to the shutdown.
