I feel like I do this a lot with podcasts. I started watching the Gus and Eddy podcast and finished it about a month before the last episode was released for example.

It could be anything though. An online game, an OS, a console, TV show, a forum, or anything else. I’m just curious what people have to say.

It also doesn’t need to be “dead”. It could just be a significant change where a chunk of the community left.

    Toys-to-life video games. I went on a Skylanders spending spree less than a year before it officially died. $5-$15 figurines got sold at garage sales for $0.25-$3 each.

    I had tons of fun getting into it and I was young enough that I could afford to waste the money, so I regret nothing.

        The toys-to-life trend ended, as it wasn’t making enough money. The games remain playable, but they have no support and are old enough they they require hardware that I no longer have.

    Battlerite and OmegaStrikers

    Kind of like that, I got into them as they were thriving, since it was on beta/release, but they died very quickly afterwards and it is a shame because nothing captures that feel for me, I like short burst competitive games like that, but I guess people generally aren’t into stuff like that.

    E: And actually one more like that, the goatest of them all tbh, just been so long that i forgot about it, but this is one that is an awesome idea for anyone looking for some fun friend group comp game:

    SpeedRunners.

    This last one is a damn shame, because there really is nothing like it.

    I’ve forgotten the name but there was an “adult” MMO made for android devices that I played a while back. After I completed the tutorial, I was shown the announcements and it stated that the the game’s service was to end in about week.

    I feel like I should have more but I can’t remember anything else.
