Good point, so how shall we properly say that it's dying?

Two examples of why your smart-ass attempt is actually wrong:

die off
To undergo a sudden, sharp decline in population: Rabbits were dying off in that county. [Dust has a population]

die out
To cease living completely; become extinct: tribes and tribal customs that died out centuries ago. [tribes nor customs/cultures are technically "living" entities by your definition]

I would say maybe in danger of shut down.... or cancelation....

lol in both examples you used living beings... rabbits and tribal people (their customs/cultures are defined by a living organism... you fail

I guarantee you EVE makes plenty enough money to support Dust.

A set of customs is not living, though it is used by a living population.

DUST is not living, though it is used by a living population.

All computer programs are by their very nature defined by "living organisms."

op is dumb

I guarantee you EVE makes plenty enough money to support Dust.

your argument is moot because you are using the term of death in a slang way... no matter how adapted we are to using the term in such an abstract manner it is still inaccurate

Tell me, would you say that a true AI isn't alive? I know it's all semantics and science fiction but it can be argued that biology isn't a requirement to being "alive".

because its a computer program...

not a living creature....

you must actually be alive to die...

That's not the problem, problem is no one being here within a year

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Colloquialisms are not "inaccurate," they are just traditionally not used in formal speech. You are arbitrarily declaring a sub-set of rules of the English language to be temporarily "void."

1, 2. Colloquial, conversational, informal refer to types of speech or to usages not on a formal level. Colloquial is often mistakenly used with a connotation of disapproval, as if it meant GÇ£vulgarGÇ¥ or GÇ£badGÇ¥ or GÇ£incorrectGÇ¥ usage, whereas it is merely a familiar style used in speaking and writing. Conversational refers to a style used in the oral exchange of ideas, opinions, etc.: an easy conversational style. Informal means without formality, without strict attention to set forms, unceremonious: an informal manner of speaking; it describes the ordinary, everyday language of cultivated speakers.

In short, you are simply uneducated on the matter and are in error.

I'll still be here. So that's one person.

nope


and im more clever than you think.... my little fish...

No, not clever, just a troll trying to be clever and funny and failing at both, especially with this obvious miss-use of "my little fish" where you break even your own arbitrary rules.

Anywho, my dinner is now done so I'm off. Thank you for providing entertainment while I was waiting for the oven, have a pleasant day!

Hey Seymor and Xocoyol you guys are going off topic here

Might be a tiny population but I still doubt it

I agree... but I don't think dust has that level of AI....i.e. independent conscience thought, or the ability to interact in a meaningful way with other organisms above its simple programing... I mean c'mon its on the unreal engine...
