While true and sad, I did just learn about OpenGOAL. The team has created a new engine to run the original code of Jak1 and Jak2 (working on 3), so you can now play them natively on PC! Jak1 has been working great, its a lot of fun to revisit!
No Sly Cooper remakes yet sadly, stealth games always get ignored.
Call of Duty: United Offensive on PC. I just recently came back after a decade of not playing (and over 20 years after release) and the community is still there just smaller and the game is still just as fun
EDIT: I realize I didn’t really interpret the question correctly on my initial read. This is meant more for old games, not sleeper online games that are just good in their own right without being live service. Perhaps a more fitting answer would be AssaultCube. One of the first multiplayer FPS games I played. There probably aren’t any official servers anymore, but community hosted ones were supported, so I’m sure it’s still around.
Straftat. Free to play, fast paced, 1v1 movement shooter. It’s a wildly under appreciated game that would hugely benefit from a small to medium sized, consistent player base. It does have a paid dlc, that mostly functions as a tip for the dev. The DLC has some cosmetics and a few maps, but it’s not really gatekeeping any of the fun of the game, plus it’s only $5 USD so I just bought it and considered it the price of the game.

It was the best FPS, arguably the only FPS, on the Nintendo DS. Nintendo has long since shut down their online service for the DS. However, if you go into your WiFi settings you can change your DNS to point to a server that spoofs Nintendo’s credentials.
Thanks to this exploit you can play all the original DS games online with a legitimate game, on a legitimate console. There’s even a discord for MP:H with a matchmaking channel, clans, and regular tournaments. (The same probably goes for Mario Kart DS)
hold up link me the discord, I played the absolute fuck out of this game as a kid. literally built a whole community by shooting friend codes on a wall to add people I’d match against LMAO
Them's Fightin' Herds went through a very tragic downfall. Publisher fired the entire development team at the end of 2023, before the final DLC character was even finished, and then released her in a completely broken state. Much later they would eventually put out a hotfix patch with several pages of nerfs, and this character is still banned competitively. They did promise further fixes, but they promised that a long time ago and it's been radio silence since. All other promised content updates, including Story Mode, are canceled.
Despite all that, the community's still here. I'm about to leave for Combo Breaker 2025 this weekend, where TFH will be one of the brackets I'm entering. Only a side event, bracket's small, but as long as there are brackets I will show up to them.
Skullgirls is somehow still here, 13 years after release. It's had a long history of perpetual development troubles, and yet has always been kicking. Earlier this year it came out that the developers are suing the publisher over $1.2 million they haven't been paid, so it looks like this actually is the end of development for real now. Fortunately the final patch is in a very good state, they went out on a high note and I'm happy with the finished product.
But again, the community? Still here. Also at Combo Breaker 2025, as a main stage headliner. Skullgirls will never die.
Puyo Puyo Champions is the most functional version of the game, in fact it's the only version on modern platforms that is faithfully accurate to original Tsu rules. Sega let it fall by the wayside in order to sell buggy rehashed crossovers and mobile subscription service exclusives, but PPC is the version you should be playing, don't buy the shovelware that is skinwalking the IP now. Unfortunately, Sega's mismanagement has split the playerbase because of all the shovelware they're pushing, and the west in particular is a hopeless mess because of it. For best results, queue when Japan is awake. But you can still play this version, and you should!
