RR3 was launched in February 2013, which means that by any standard it is ancient. The last updates show a decrease in development effort by FM, which is a shure sign of an end-of-life product.

So...

Some questions, remarks, comments.

Looking at recent WTTT results, the number of people involved with RR3 is about 300,000. @ an estimated 0.1$ a head per month (some minor purchases by some and several 100 adds by everybody (maintenance, gold...)) it still could generate some hundred thousands in revenue for FM, but as new content is scarce, this will dry up over time.

What will happen when FM stops development and support is not known, but based on historical cases, worst case is a stop of any support including all internet/server services. Intermediate case is it to be put on a platform like GOG. The poor sobs who started recently and spent real money could be the victims of this development. Best case? would be RR4.

And all of us who spent an average 1.5 hours on the game (WIKI poll result) : what do we plan to do with the 500 odd hours of freed-up time in the years to come?
