research draft · methodology 0.4 · September 2, 2026 · Historical last Steam product line before server shutdown; Freejam announced shutdown during the week beginning 2025-01-20. This is a reconstruction from the announced schedule, not a direct observation of the shutdown moment.

Structural expectation:: Unknown
Player dependency:: Unknown
Change direction:: Not assessed
Assessment type:: Unknown
