What about L4D2? They still have servers running
Dead? Really? Cuz Portal and Minecraft are my kids' top two games!
I think they mostly mean dead as in not many people playing them consistently, but that's of course due to the fact that they are quite old and don't have a ton of replayability. (In regards to portal and half-life.)
Though I'd also argue that they are far from dead in spirit, as they are still very well regarded and thought of, and still talked about quite a bit. And there is of course always new people discovering or playing them since they are such classics.
Minecraft is still of course alive and well, for me personally it is my single most played game, and I still play it from time to time, albeit primary modded.
