About Game Over
Game Over is a catalog of games and online worlds that died — City of Heroes, Star Wars Galaxies, Stadia, and the rest — live-service titles whose servers were shut down. Each case is traced from launch to the dated end, and to the communities (and sometimes the fan servers) left behind.
What you'll find here
- The product, what it was, the year it launched, and the year it died — stated up front, never buried
- How long it lived and how big it got, in a four-cell stat bar
- A documented timeline, a three-act account, and exactly five contributing factors
- Why it was killed and the exact fate — shut down, discontinued, merged, open-sourced, sold off, or revived
- Transferable lessons, and real references from official shutdown posts and named tech journalism
Game Over is part of End of Life — a reference network on dead software, platforms, services, and gadgets: the things that launched, ran, and were switched off, each resolved by the documented shutdown date.
