What Makes A Game "Dead"?
What does it take for you to claim a game as "dead"?
Maybe name some examples if you like.
-
7 RepliesWhen casual players begin to quit playing and the only players are dedicated, sweaty kids who have invested $100+ on micro transactions and stream it all the time.
-
When the servers are shut down
-
when its hyped like crazy and it ends up sucking... cod anyone?
-
The undead generally
-
When 0 people play it.
-
Loss of player base. For example go look at Halo 3's population on the 360. Dead. Sadly.
-
Section 8: Prejudice is a dead game. Probably was DoA, now that I think about it. It was a great game too.
-
I think only multi-player games can die. With single player games, it doesn't require the developer to keep servers running or enough people playing to find matches.
-
When the company stops regularly updating it. Some CoD games still have s good fan base, but are (in my eyes) dead, as nothing new is coming to them. Like movies from an actor, you can still watch them, but since they're dead, nothing new will come from them

Edited by wojo55: 2/20/2017 8:48:51 PMI don't in all honestly it's a rather stupid term to use on a game I suppose if no one could play anymore I'd consider it dead other then that I'm sure someone's out there playing it
-
"Hero's never die!"
-
Add Space after it, then a game is Dead Space.
-
To me it's when a game gets boring and dry kinda like destiny but when a new dlc comes out I fall in love all over again
-
A multiplayer game, or at least mostly MP game that has no playerbase and is abandoned by its developer. For example, Tribes Accend.
-
2 RepliesWhen the devs stop supporting, adding content to the game, and when the playerbase falls below a certain number of active players (let's say, 1000 players). For example, it is almost impossible to matchmake in battleborn right now due to the small number off players still active. The division feels a bit empty too nowadays.
-
Go play Killzone shadows fall multiplayer. There is your answer.
-
"Nothing is dead, until it is Forgotten"
-
Halo 4's population after 2 weeks is a good example of a dead game. Most times it's used to shit-talk a successful game. i.e: the flood of threads claiming X game will kill Halo 3 back in '08-09
-
In PvP games most of the time it refers to when the player pool dips really low
-
A games servers being shut down is a good example of a game reaching the end of its lifespan, the term doesn't affect single player experiences
-
I guess when it's Developer stops adding new stuff/Content to the game.
-
1 ReplyIf a search for players takes longer than 5 minutes, then it's pretty dead to me.
-
Abandonment by most of its player base. The Division is a great example of a dead game.
-
Abandoned by players and developers. [spoiler]The luckiest seven you will ever meet[/spoiler]
-
Effectively abandoned by both the players and the developer.
-
A game I'll use as an example is cod ghosts on the PC. 3 game modes are playable: team deathmatch, strikezone, and hardcore team death match. I'd consider that dead, as I've yet to see it reach 2000 players online, and it has no dev support as it is an older cod. I assume it's the same on console but I've not recently played it there so I can't speak for it.
