Disney Pulled the Plug on This Game in 2013. A Group of Teens Kept It Alive - Wired

Quick Summary:

Thanks to a bunch of game-makers who were still teens when Toontown Online disappeared, the beloved online world lives on as Toontown Rewritten.

With less than a month before their beloved online world would be shut down, teens like Joey Ziolkowski, then a 15-year-old high school student from Maryland, set out on a seemingly impossible rescue mission: to save Toontown by re-creating it on their own private servers—without the permission of Disney.

In the game, players (customizable, cartoon animals called “Toons”) are confronted with the world of Toontown being taken over by business robots, who lurk on streets and take over shops with their ugly, sad corporate offices.
