Hard to point to an exact date; it was a gradual process. The web site finally went offline in mid-2019, but the company had been essentially dead for years before that -- they hadn't released any new software since 2013, or any updates since 2016. Most of their game library never even got ported to OS X, so one could argue that the process started as early as 2002...
