Family Guy Online Shuts Down After Discovering Most Players Too Stupid To Play Game
Roadhouse Interactive president James Hursthouse explained the difficulties behind Family Guy Online after it was announced today that the game would be shut down. The cost of reworking the game many times over brought its early demise.
“We learned that players did not take to the early version of Family Guy Online,” Hursthouse says, “They did not understand the basic MMO concepts of quests and magic and many called the game extremely quote unquote faggy and for nerds. They did like the non sequitur cutscenes of the game because it reminded them of the show.”
“After observing many players struggling with the battle system, we tried to dumb down the mechanics so even children could understand,” he explains, “but most players couldn’t get past the rock-paper-scissors battle system. In fact, there were quite a few players that asked whether or not Lois would become nude after she makes a sex joke and spent most of their time trying to attack the Megan NPC.”
“I spoke with Seth about the game and he said to cater to the biggest fans even if it means making everything idiotic and nonsensical,” he continues, “He seemed very depressed and asked if we would rather discuss his new movie Ted at the time. Now I understand why he no longer wants to work on the show.”
Hursthouse shared some statistics about the game:
- 90% of conversations between players were Family Guy quotes
- 70% of players could not progress past level 2
- There were 17 Giant Chicken encounters
- There were 200 players online simultaneously at its peak
- 60% of the jokes were re-used from the show
Fox has announced the Cleveland Show Online game would begin production following the American Dad Online game in 2013 after learning from this experience.

omg why would u shut it down i was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy past level 2 and i finished many different quests atleast some players understood it :/
why why i was past level a long time ago so some players understood it the game was good but who cares if the other players didn’t understand at least they had fun on the game put it back on please :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Yeah, this sounds about like what I’d expect from a Family Guy game and from Family Guy fans. Really, Hursthouse shouldn’t have been so surprised that that’s what would happen with a game based on a terrible show for thirteen year-olds and braindead, shit-smeared mongoloids (AKA the Family Guy fanbase).
no the game could of been good it was easy and simple the only problem was it was designed so that everything costed real cash and only a idiot would pay to play it other wise the game could of been amazing
OMG!!!! WHY!!!! I WAS AT LEVEL 25 AT LEAST OTHER PEOPLE UNDERSTAND!!!
I’m 9 now I was 7 on 2012 and I got passed level 2
I was wondering why it shut down, this is why i’m not a people person. Because the majority of us are complete idiots and are sex crazed! The game was so easy and entertaining, I believe i finished the quests or almost did because it was only a Beta. I loved exploring the Family Guy world, i would just spend hours exploring. I’m only 16 so i don’t know a whole lot, but this generation is such a disgrace to not even understand a simple and fun game like this. Most of us play stuff like Black Ops and it’s sad if they say this game was hard. -_- I really want it to come back, man..
i think their lying
They’re* my bad
nerdy that what games are and many people enjoy them like every game is nerdy to be honest
