Reason why quake is dead

[LambentHammerBurst]

Quake is "dead" simply because it's 16yrs old. Fact that you can STILL find servers to play on is amazing due to its age. Game is still quite alive. You just cannot expect to be able to boot the game up and instantly be in a match with players - low population.
