There are actually several examples of modern online-only games turning into abandonware. EA is the reigning champion of online-only abandonware as they have more dead live-service games than any other publisher. The most telling one being Titanfall where a single hacker prevented people from using the servers for years with no response from Respawn or EA who continue to sell a broken game that they refuse to fix.,(reply>), @SpiffingNZ I had said that originally, CoX or City of Heroes + Villains/Going Rogue is still around. Hell it always has been since the shutdown, this was due to someone leaking the source code. Ironically how someone in corpo publishing of the company liked the game so much that they leaked the source code. That is example 1/2 of live service games sticking around, the other is Guild Wars 1.,(reply>), @Wally Hackenslacker I have good news about City of Heroes.<br><br>Look up City of Heroes Homecoming. They've done a great job preserving and adding to it and there's quite an active community.,(reply>), @Michael Smith battleborn flopped,(reply>), 2k. Evolve and Battleborn,(reply>), NCSoft is another one. Looking at their portfolio of games in Wikipedia, at least a quarter of them are now servers-shutdown MMO's. Boy do I miss City of Heroes.
