And if it's not dead, it is doomed to die.

That is indeed the sad truth. There will be a day where NOBODY will play it. The only way I'd see of making this delayed is by illegally remaking SWBF to the latest technology with a lot of advertising to get it ahead of EA. But of course the developers would be enjoying their punishment for copyright before that could possibly happen. I think when Phobos' TWD mod begins releasing to the public it'll help keep a few people coming back to see more but when it's ended things will probably die down again. Hell, it's 12 years old, it's had a long lifespan to still be this active.

When I said it was doomed to die, I was really only thinking about Multiplayer. I have a feeling Gamemaster won't be staying up forever, either. I don't know enough about the deal with that, but will the owner shut it off if usage continues to drop?

Gamemaster also has the support of other games, so  I think it will be a long while.  Additionally, the source code is released, so we can potentially make our own if we needed. 

A game this old doesn't really get new players, but this website will continue as long as I do, which I hope is still a good number of years

Led, i will believe every second of that, and I will be impressed when it happens.
