This list documents video games that have been shut down, delisted, or otherwise made unplayable, along with games judged at risk of the same fate. Each entry records the game, its publisher, the platforms it shipped on, its release and shutdown dates, a home-page link, and its current preservation state. The list grew out of the Stop Killing Games project, which formed after The Crew was rendered unplayable by a server shutdown.
This list is adapted from the Dead game list on the Stop Killing Games Wiki, available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License. It is reproduced and modified here, and this page is likewise available under the same license. The authoritative, continuously updated version is maintained on the Stop Killing Games Wiki.
The list is a best-effort record and is not guaranteed complete or fully accurate. Many home-page links point to services that have since gone offline; prefer the Internet Archive copy of a dead game's page, and treat live links to defunct services with caution.

The game is no longer accessible and is removed from the Chrome Webstore. The link now redirects you to the AngryBirdsNest homepage and you can't play it in the Chrome web browser even with caches.
Since its cancellation, various fans attempted to restore the game for browsers users. On April 24, 2020, the game was brought back via Flashpoint.[5] It was was fixed on February 5, 2022, and was playable on sandstormdev.indie.af, but with a broken UI.[6] The game also runs on an HTML5 engine instead of Flash, making it playable on mobile devices and most other platforms with HTML5 support. As of sometime in early 2024, the website seems to be down for unknown reasons, although it still playable through the Wayback Machine. Later in February, another fan restoration was made on yell0wsuit.page (and is the only functional version of Angry Birds Chrome as of September 2025), Note: If you are using mobile devices to play this version you have to go on the main website to confirm the cookies pop-up, because the UI doesn’t work in the game link. On March 2024, another fan restoration has been made on abchrome.epizy.com. As of September 2024, the domain has also closed. Apperently, only yell0wsuit.page works. |

Later that day, the post was deleted, probably due to negative comments or it was early to post it.
On August 1, 2017, the game was hidden/removed from the App Store, silently being discontinued. However, the game could still be played by downloading it through other pages, or if the player had downloaded it before. On the same day, the Angry Birds' Twitter account mentioned the same message, same goes in-game. The post on Facebook was back up with the same message. Afterwards, the official Facebook account and Twitter accounts (both ENG and JP) of Angry Birds Fight! were deleted. The Walkthrough site was also shut down, as it hasn't been updated since February 2016. Daily Challenges were disabled following this. On November 15, 2017, all servers for Angry Birds Fight! were shut down, essentially rendering the game completely unplayable. Attempting to start the game would result in a network error message on the title screen (it will always appear regardless of whether or not the WiFi and networks are actually working). |
