Disney Create is CLOSING!

This is kinda 2 topics but I decided to put it in here instead.
First the games PH, TT, POTCO, and now Disney Create were our D-names are from PH.. It said it was to "close it's doors" on April 30th, and I found something familiar in the FAQ...

"Why is Disney Create closing?
The Walt Disney Company is committed to offering high-quality, entertaining digital play experiences that foster creativity and encourage kids to express their imagination and individuality. At this time, we are shifting our development focus towards mobile-friendly play offerings such as our growing selection of Disney mobile apps, including the award-winning Disney Animated, Frozen: Storybook Deluxe, Disney Storytime, Vinylmation: Create Your Own and more. "

and here's PH's FAQ for why it's closing:

"Why is Pixie Hollow closing?
Disney Interactive is committed to offering high quality, entertaining play experiences in both online virtual worlds and mobile apps. At this time, we are shifting our development focus toward other online and mobile play experiences, such as the Disney Fairies Website and a growing selection of Disney Mobile apps. We deeply appreciate your loyal enthusiasm and loyal support for Pixie Hollow and sincerly hope you will continue to enjoy the large variety of other online and mobile play experiences, and will bring you soon.

Hmm weird.. Mobile Apps.. What is Disney trying to say to us?

Also this sounded familiar:

"Will I be able to access my account and my creations?
All guests can log in with their existing account information and enjoy full access to Create from now until April 30, 2014. After that date, you will no longer be able to access Disney Create.

PH's Version:

"Attention Pixies: Disney Fairies Pixie Hollow will be closing on September 19, 2013. ALL Fairies can log inn and enjoy full unlimited access for free, from now until September 19, 2013. Thanks for everything!"

Hmm weird too.. Full access until it "closes it's doors" for Mobile Apps..?
What do you guys think of this? I'm sad that Disney Create is closing but I had never gone on there after PH closed so Im not that sad about it.
Is Disney trying to send us a message about something or taking away all of our fave things online?

Ugh, I know! I just logged on today and couldn't believe it! I certainly don't see why two popular activities must close in place of apps! Just make the apps but keep everything else open!

Why close them because of offering high quality to apps?!?
Shouldn't they just keep everything open?

I don't think there is a "message" Disney is trying to send to us other than they clearly feel mobile apps is now where all the money and profit is. I am disappointed in them. It makes me so irate that they say things like, "we are committed to providing quality games for everyone to enjoy." You HAD that with PH!

I know things like PH don't last forever, but I didn't think it would have ended this soon.

Looks like this news article was right, in the end. Club Penguin's days are numbered
Or, excuse me, Club Penguin's days on the PC are numbered. They're probably going to go completely to app-form.

It definitely looks like it. Technology today is about fitting it into the palm of your hands and having access right at your fingertips. Computers are becoming a thing of a past, unfortunately. I just don't understand why they couldn't transfer the other online worlds into a mobile app?

Takes up to much space I guess and Apple doesn't support Flash Player anymore..

But Disney does have their hands on an HTML 5 company--it works on both computers and mobile devices. It's also what they updated Harvest Hustle with.

I don't think they would get completely rid of CP. Yes, I know how flimsy that assurance sounds, but I really think that they're going to slowly take CP from computer-based to app-based to keep its life going for a while. Hopefully (and yes, I do actually mean that) it can allow for a longer lifespan for this world.
