well lifetime = time where stuff is still under development. LoL = not more than 11 years old (heck it's not even 10 years old) TF2 had it's 10th anniversary this year. which means eve online, WoW and runescape still get patches/updates/etc.

as said there aren't that many games that have a lifespan of over 11 years.

You've been given plenty of examples showing it's been done. What's the point you're trying to reach?

League of Legends started development in 2006 and TF2 started development in 1998 or 2005 depending on if you start counting from the redesign or not.

There are so many games that have this long a lifespan.
