Is there any chance that online games put down due poor performance be blocked from preserving by their original owners? I'm talking about Gunslinger Stratos which apparently SE put down due not being able to improve how the game worked, i'm even aware how GS animation was another financial dissaster, is there anything SE wins by putting as much effort as possible to block any attempt to restore the server?

As a little twist, i'm wondering if there's any plans or approach to restore online mobile games? Could restoring those games carry the same legal weight as client games?

My apologizes if my blatant intrest muddles my point, but what i meant was, could be there issues restoring servers that even the creators admit to be on developement hell (basically an unspoken way to say cancelled by any other name) due unforseen circumstances (in this case being absorbed and forced to drop out the unfinished product) and the possibility of working on it not being on the table, which game files of the latest build exist?

Along with the second question on about restoring servers of unfinished games.

I hope i'm still on time but i managed to think this in a whole new way (sorry if this crosses the line of double posting), here it goes:

I've seen that the team in charge of SkySaga dropped it due the founds being cut, they tried to revive the project, yet at the end an UK group absorbed those involved with SkySaga to work for them, if i recall correctly they were sent to work on Rebellion's projects, most likely crushing any hope for SkySaga to resurface and be finished on the near (and most likely far) future, is there any risk that SkySaga team or Rebellion could send a C&D should there even be an attempt to preserve SkySaga's last build? Even though SkySaga developement team might be stuck who knows how much on Rebellion's new game and Rebellion might not even care or even be focused on reviving it?

And what is your oppinion on restoring servers of games that were still concepts? (as in still in beta phase instead of the official service)

Regardless the question about mobile games but now shifting the point to browser online games (yes this doesn't cover just Travian, Gladiatus and the like anylonger) with the problem of people making private browser games like wildfire, would attempts like yours to preserve online games be muddle with the stigma of past actions (and most likely what would survive even in the future) making any effort moot about online browser games?
