While that game has attracted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/card-games\/elder-scrolls-fans-are-bringing-the-card-game-back-from-digital-oblivion\/\">fan attempts at a revival<\/a>, time will tell if Blades inspires the same fervor in its community.

It&#8217;s hard to guess at why it stayed up after the card game went down\u2014maybe it was cheaper to maintain, Bethesda wanted a buffer between bouts of bad news, or the right person just remembered Blades existed\u2014but it&#8217;s still disappointing things are ending this way, with no attempt at long-term preservation for the game in the form of an offline-only version.
