Worlds Adrift. It was shut down by the creators partly due to funding another project but also partly because the serverside was built on a proprietary OS that isn't supported anymore so there weren't any options other than re-building it from the ground up

Follow-up: what are some of the lesser known or niche games trapped on a hardware platform you'd like to see a good port of?
Aside from everything Nintendo makes- with how they run the switch, I really wish they'd crash out of the console market- I would hope for the Bomberman Battle Royale game that was on Stadia only. It was some sort of deal to keep it there, but it was definitely a fun Bomberman game.
3D Dot Game Heroes on the PS3. Forget good ports, this poor game didn't get ANY ports.
Seriously, that game was a charming semi-parody of some RPG elements and aspects of classic Legend of Zelda.
One of my favorite parts was the character creator, such a smart integration of a voxel editor. It put me in the mind of RPG Maker's pixel art sprite editor with how it had you make a small voxel spritesheet for the character.
Oh man one of the biggest regrets was me getting rid of this game so much fun.
I mostly use a Linux box to play games.

Consoles are pretty weak compared to the PC when it comes to complex simulations, stuff like Heart of Iron 4. Maybe some of that is lack of a mouse, or maybe the TV screen covers a smaller portion of the visual arc than the computer screen. Maybe user demographic preferences differ. I think that it'd be reasonable to do controller-friendly ports.

Android and deep games. A lot of mobile gaming seems to be incredibly-shallow. When I look at mobile, it seems like a great platform for turn-based games, low battery usage games. I don't have or want a Google account for privacy reasons. Android even with the inclusion of Google's store is weak, and cutting Google Play Services out makes it a really, really weak gaming platform. I have no problem paying for games on mobile, but I have a large problem with that being tied to being tracked wherever I go. I'd like a privacy-friendly option to purchase and a collection of good turn-based, replayable games on Android.

I'd like to see a better port of Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead to Android. This game is fundamentally tied to a keyboard interface, and someone did an admittedly-impressive job of making it actually playable with a touch interface, but it's still painful compared to using a keyboard. Needs a deeper UI overhaul.

The one major game that I can't play on Steam/Linux due to Proton/WINE compatibility issues that I'd really like is Command: Modern Operations.

I don't really want a modern port of AV-8B Harrier Assault on Linux -- the game is ancient -- but I'd like to see something in that rough genre, a military simulation with a dynamic campaign.
I think that it’d be reasonable to do controller-friendly ports.
At least some Paradox games have console ports. Stellaris, for example, is on PS4/Xbox One. It's a serviceable port, but it plays much better on mnk.
