Many would disagree with you on this stance. From experience, I know lots of people are still looking for GTA:SA today and they usually find it without issues. There is a version on Steam that can be downgraded, so there is no need to update SA-MP for any other version.

In another words, if people want to play SA-MP, they will find their way, regardless of which versions are available. The main problem is not that people have a hard time finding out how to play it, it's because there are many newer games to choose from. And SA-MP is only as popular and as interesting as are the servers that use it. And the servers have to look for players, introduce new features, and make the gameplay interesting, but all servers are limited by what SA-MP itself can be used to achieve.

Yes, SA-MP is going down. We all know this will eventually happen, but as long as servers are dedicated to keep their players, it's not going to happen soon.

It's not in your power to stop the end from happening, but it's in your power to make SA-MP live longer. Just see how many people came and were interested when 0.3.9 was mentioned.
