Wait, that game is still playable online?

Many of us only view a game's release in passing, and view it as an "event". Groundhog Smasher came out, it failed, and we don't hear of it again. Additionally, many of us associate "online" games with being "live service" - expecting the developers to announce a new skin, battle pass, game mechanic, or character every other week.
But some online games are just purely enjoyable, or get enough unremarkable patches, or sometimes don't even need a high playercount, to be enjoyed for years after the developers stopped emitting news.
This subject also gets confusing with cross-play games; even if one game has hardly anyone in its Steam playercount, sometimes between Playstation and Xbox there's just enough left to garner a following.
Which games do you play, or know about, that most people would've thought to be completely closed down, or at least had totally forgotten about?

Heroes of the Storm is still up after it stopped getting updates years ago.

Best MOBA imo, no idea why it flopped (except pushing a pro gaming scene for an arcade title within the genre)

It should have been marketed as the moba you play casually with friends, and it would have done great
