For games and other media that gets “released”. Cancelled is usually the term that gets used if it doesn’t come out. A film that is no longer in the cinema doesn’t get said it was cancelled for example. For games that cease to be playable after release they are more often described as being shut down or being sunset. Like I’ve never read about an ongoing game being cancelled unless they were specifically talking about an originally upcoming piece of dlc or content being cancelled.

It was a must have online servers game and they stopped all support, so it’s gone, canceled, over. Idk. That’s the way I think of it at least.
