Disney buys clubpenguin!!!!
August 1, 2007howdy,
ht here and I know for a fact disney bought clubpenguin ):
and yes I dislike all that dumb highschool musical disney stuff,but I dont think there will be any HUGE changes.
this is a huge story and was on the news
Here is the disney blog and what it says on this….
Disney to buy Club Penguin, Tween Social Networking Site/MMORG
Offering Social Networking & Multiuser Online Gaming for the tween set, 8-14 years of age, Club Penguin is by far the most popular site out there. Many big players have been considered as potential suiters, but there is only one company that ever made sense to me, The Walt Disney Company. Now, the Mouse House has announced that it will buy Club Penguin lock, stock, and igloo for a cool $350 million with additional payments of up to $350 million based on performance. Check out the frontpage of Disney.com if you don’t believe me.
Club Penguin has definitely figured out what its audience wants, while providing the privacy and safety that keeps parents happy. Part of what makes it popular is that it is where all the kids that age hang out online. So as long as Disney is able to keep the next generation of tweens interested in Club Penguin then this is a great buy. But if the big neighborhood trendsetter children and their friends start hanging out on another site, then this might be another big mistake for Disney Online (although not quite as costly as Go.com).
So, let’s look at the whole picture for Disney Interactive. We have Disney.com, which has DisneyXD, Toontown online, Virtual Magic Kingdom, Hot Shot Business, and Pirates of the Caribbean (eventually). Throw in Playhouse Disney Preschool Time Online and Disney has a social network/MMORG for you from 2 years old until you’re too old to type. Don’t think this is a mistake either. It’s all part of Bob Iger’s big plan to remain relevant in the coming years as consumer media consumption shifts online.

heres what another famous penguin cpppd officers says on this
Breaking news: Club Penguin sold.
But not to SONY. Disney. I heard it on the news
and read it on an Internet report. The site will be called
Disney’s Club Penguin and will retain the url.
Disney said they weren’t gonna make any immediate
changes, the business will still be based in Kelowna,
and Lane Merrifield, the CEO of Club Penguin, will become
an executive vice president of the Walt Disney Internet Group.
The moderators will still be the moderators
and the game will still be the game. The only change; the
game will not be owned by New Horizon Interactive anymore.
SO RELAX!!!!!!!!!! More info when it comes.
