WoW at the least is far too large to ever die. There are private servers for every version of the game except WoD, and that is hopefully for legal reasons - of course I'm not a lawyer and the law here is a fucking mess especially if you live outside the US, but there has to be an abandonware case for every version of the game that is not currently available on Blizzards servers. A decade from now there will still be WoW private servers, and there will still be the opencore-esque projects providing the server infrastructure to run private instances of it. Albeit I wish the private server community shared source more, but I'm not really involved in it so more power to them for putting in the scripting effort to make all the mobs work again.
