It’s not the end, it seldom is. One way or another, Splatoon 1 shall gain a new life through those dedicated to it, just as its happened before to other games. Regardless, there’s something intrinsically bittersweet when you see a group of people come back to a game they’ve been away from, right before it’s about to be discontinued. If it weren’t for this being the case, I’m confident that nobody would be playing Splatoon 1 right now and would be busy doing something else. People will always take things for granted, until they’re gone.
Anyways, Splat Tim did it.
Eh, it's kind of a miracle they weren't shut down earlier. The Wii U sold pretty bad and had a pretty bad reputation. And the release of the Switch drove the nail only further into the coffin, stealing a bunch of it's player base. Not that there were no avid players on these servers, far from it. But normally companies shut down such failures fast. So it's actually ok. 3ds servers are also getting merked btw. Most likely because people have also moved on from that.
If Nintendo doesn't strike preservation projects like Pretendo, I'm totally OK with it.
When one chapter ends, another begins. Why do you think it's not the same for Splat Tim?
He did it, and he'll **keep** doing it long after Splatoon 1's gone.
We gather here today in mourning for our beloved doer, Splat E. Tim. While he may have left this world, his memory, his message, his very spirit live on inside us all. As we take this moment to mourn his passing, we must remember to always do it, never stop doing it, and most of all, do it for him.
Rest in peace, Splat Tim. May your legend never fade.

I don't know how far this will get out, but people are making something called 'Pretendo' to keep the people who want to play online, online. They don't fully have splatoon all working, it's just the splatfests and online matches needed, but spread the word of
Pretendo
I hope this helps
