What happens when an Internet-heavy game, such as Switch Sports, loses its connectivity and most of its player base after a few years? (self.nintendo)

Dang you had to remind me about that game. I had been missing wii sports for years and was hyped for the switch game when it was announced. Played the test days and it was fantastic, then it was released and I never managed to play with another human, ever. I would be fine with playing with bots only as well, but every time I tried to play I had to wait for several minutes while it tried to find someone for me to play with until a timeout was reached and a game started. I quickly grew tired of the wait and abandoned the game.

I guess that will be everybody's experience once the game loses connectivity.

I play against real people all the time.

I assume my problem is my geographic location.
