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:

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.

That seems extremely unlikely.
