Family Guy Online Is Shutting Down Before Leaving Beta

Family Guy Online, which only opened up its beta to the public a few months ago, is shutting down on January 18, 2013.

The news comes from a posting on the Family Guy Online website. Refunds will be issued back to those who spent real money of the game during the beta.

There is another Family Guy game that released recently, but if our review is any indication, it probably shouldn't have ever left beta either.

I don't see how any of this Family Guy stuff could ever be good anyway. Sorry for the devs.

Oh that stinks, I love there show! Keep going good with the show and I think you guys will be fine.

Regardless of your feelings towards the show, i just can't see how a Family Guy MMO could ever be any good.

Not too bad of a game, imo, but the genre just didn't fit into the Family Guy world. It's like if they tried making a First Person Shooter from Lord of the Rings.

Wow, I think that is the first time I've heard of an announced game having it's plug pulled after making it all the way to beta. There have probably been others but I can't think of them.

That's incredible.

what a waste of money
by KillerAura Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 07:01 PM

well its cool they are refunding everybody, too bad about the game

How embarrassing
by The Doctor Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 07:14 PM

Not really surprised.
by ZERØ Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 07:28 PM

I never even heard of it.
by Stitch Jones Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 07:32 PM

It's 'Family Guy' of course it is bad. Such a horrible show.
by Tysamu Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 07:49 PM

sigh... I thought they'd know better than this..
by Companion Cube Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 08:14 PM

Wow... Was it really that bad?
by ChrFra95 Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 08:17 PM

I was excited when I received my beta key.....Until I tried to play it....It was an awful mess, from the quests to the controls layout. Nothing about that game was good. It felt like they were punishing people on the basis of being fans of Family Guy.
by firedude3663 Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 08:35 PM

Doesn't surprise me. I can't really see how you could make a game out of that series.
by Boyzby Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 08:41 PM

That's the first time I've laughed at Family Guy in the last 10 years. ^_^
by darkflamemaster Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 08:56 PM

well, thats sad.
