It's accurate, but probably not good. Most of the articles on HN that talk about a shut down are about the company going under. That doesn't seem to be the case here.
Regardless of it's right or wrong to assume the content of a post based on its title, a much better title would make it clear the game is shutting down and not the company.
- ReverseCold 10y agoDisney's not going under anytime soon.
- sbuttgereit 10y agoGreat if you know that "Club Penguin" has any thing to do with Disney. Personally, I've never heard of it before (nor did I linger on the article long enough to find that out about any association with Disney). Given the start up community's penchant for... unorthodox... company names, for me it could have been an 'Uber' for dry cleaning for as much as I could glean from the title (Uber for dry cleaning... hey.... never mind). Again: completely accurate title, not as informative as it could be to anyone not already in the know. [edit for clarity of point]
- eriknstr 10y agoThanks, this is the way I should have phrased what I meant to say.
