Hey!

Just wondering whats the average life span of a game before its considerd abandonware... I was thinking about one of the games I currently have its already 4 years old but is still very active multiplayer wise... I was wondering whether in 10 years time it might find itself abandoned.

Also, when multiplayer games are abandoned.. does the MP function stop working?

In 5-10 years what will abandonia be hosting... 3D Games? :eeeeeh:

8 years, or when it is no longer sold.

8 Years.... that means when im about 23-24.. It will be abandon.. hooray!

Is Command and Conquer : Zero Hour technically abandonware since the developers have stated that they're not supporting it any more, or is it ESA'd?

As far as I know all things Command & Conquer are either still sold or ESA-protected.

Fair enough, I suppose.

8 years eh?

ID will never go for that :whistle:

Danny252 12-09-2005 03:17 PM

well thats the minimum for less 'clingy' companies.. heh..

8 years . . . that means that StarCraft will be abandomware in 3 years...
Right?? :blink:

That seems extremely unlikely.
