Imagine if these type of responses were pervasive:
the American Clown Union votes to cease wearing makeup and wigs ahead of “It” movie debut.
Air B’n’B delists all properties with basements after “Barbarian” movie backlash causes concern.
The United States Automakers Coalition refuses to install wheels on newly manufactured vehicles after a Ford family member found a VHS tape of Maximum Overdrive mixed in with their Christmas decoration storage.
Sad days. Lots of work went into those things, especially the ones that were bought from Showbiz Pizza. Pretty depressing to see them unceremoniously removed because of a creepypasta-esque videogame
Supposedly from what actual employees of chuck e cheese says is that they’ve been slowly phasing out the animatronics over the past few years due to not wanting to pay maintenance fees on them anymore.
Honestly, that movie made so much I’d sue the studio if I were Chucky Cheese. It would never go to trial, a settlement would be reached, and it could front the renovation those stores much needed anyway.
They were in the process of being retired anyway. Some of the software running them isn’t compatible with any hardware my age or younger. Designing and buying new ones was deemed not worth the expense.

The one where they are possessed?
Pretty obvious what you did there, Chuck.

So why exactly would people go to Chuck E Cheese if they remove the creepy dolls? The food is repulsive even to children!

It’s not because of the movie.

Oh no, the time traveling Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is totally responsible!

It’s not that they *didn’t* remove that last set of animatronics.
It’s that they *couldn’t*.

How do I get my hands on a set?

Did they fight back in that one?

Isn’t like that one of the things that makes C.E.C. unique?
