007 Agent Under Fire came out in 2001, and you can still play it in multiplayer as long as you have a single friend handy. Same goes for Quake, even older. Live service games offer you no way to play them once their servers are turned off.

I see lots of MMOs that become ran by the community on private servers after the developer stops supporting it. It's crap when companies try to stop that, but the game being a live service isn't a problem in itself.

Not servers offered by the developers/publishers (as far as I know, with the one exception of Knockout City), which makes it an unreliable option at best. You can't exactly spin up a private server for Rumbleverse.
