I feel like I do this a lot with podcasts. I started watching the Gus and Eddy podcast and finished it about a month before the last episode was released for example.
It could be anything though. An online game, an OS, a console, TV show, a forum, or anything else. I’m just curious what people have to say.
It also doesn’t need to be “dead”. It could just be a significant change where a chunk of the community left.
Anyone get a cyber truck in the last few weeks?
So many things…
Game of Thrones, right before the last season came out. Glad I didn’t have to wait for the disappointment.
Video games. I will wait 10 years to play a game I want so that the price goes down enough.
AFI’s Sing the Sorrow album, until I gave it a fair chance years later.
Do things count that I got into when it was already dead?
Sure I’d be happy to hear about them
Just about every anime I’ve been into. Transformers, the old Pokémon series, all the Saban content I’ve fangirled over…
Ethereum mining.
I finally got a decent GPU in the beginning of 2022 and set up a basic rig. In September of that year Ethereum switched to the “proof of stake” model, rendering mining useless. I managed to maybe get a total of $200 worth of Eth in that time, and that was that. Taking into account the cost of electricity, my profit was around $100.
My life.
Toys-to-life video games. I went on a Skylanders spending spree less than a year before it officially died. $5-$15 figurines got sold at garage sales for $0.25-$3 each.
I had tons of fun getting into it and I was young enough that I could afford to waste the money, so I regret nothing.
Did they shutdown the servers or something?
The toys-to-life trend ended, as it wasn’t making enough money. The games remain playable, but they have no support and are old enough they they require hardware that I no longer have.
