On Mar. 29, 2017, my childhood melted away alongside the snowy servers of Club Penguin. The iconic mass multiplayer online game paved the way for Animal Jam, Roblox, and countless other breeding grounds for hackers to farm IP addresses. But I didn’t (and still don’t) care.

Sure, there was Club Penguin Island, but after Disney wiped out the #BissOnMickey protests to let the penguins wear pants, the game tipped the iceberg of no return. In the words of Arctic pop singer Penguin Glacier Swift, “Help, I’m still at the Pizza Parlor, still sitting in a corner playing Pizzatron.”
