Family Guy Online is a self-proclaimed “MMLOL,” fancy business speak which when translated into common English means “mediocre game based on well known IP.” Sure, Family Guy Online was an incredibly shallow game experience that put more effort into various fart jokes and racist/sexist comments than coding, but look at it this way: Underneath all of the bugs, lag, and far jokes lies a mediocre game. But hey, as the folks at Twentieth Century Fox must have assumed, the Family Guy television audience will certainly show up in high enough numbers and play it, right?
Wrong. As it turns out, they didn’t. Family Guy Online is shutting down on January 18th, 2013, after an unsuccessful beta run. All purchases from October 22nd to December 21st will be refunded automatically in early January. It’s good to see that even though the game failed, the developers are kind enough to refund everyone who paid into the beta.
