I played and loved many games that were taken down or abandoned (Gigantic, Dawngate, Strife, Destiny 2...) to the point where I instinctively prepare myself mentally to 'lose' a game if I'm enjoying it too much. This is the case with The Finals, it just feels so good to play, but past trauma has made me wiser and reminds me that it will not last, so I'm enjoying every second of it.

This game will not succeed with the bare bones marketing they're giving it, that, and Nexon is the publisher, and also the FPS market is oversaturated so how could it take off when the other options have cemented their position. But wow, what an experience it's been while it lasted, probably the best shooter I've ever played.

It depends on how the studio signed the publishing contract and should they part ways, who owns the IP. But if the game loop is proven good and have fan base to sustain a studio, someone will take the torch if the game was shut by publisher.
