Considering the fact that LOC essentially makes up 100% of Applibot's North American operations (Galaxy Saga is practically dead at this point), I'd say there is a real incentive on their part to make LOC as good as it can be and to ensure it's continued existence. LOC will likely stick around for at least another year for this reason.

How long LOC continues in the long term hinges on the developers' ability to rectify existing problems in the game, and Applibot's ability to market the game and ensure it's popularity. The problem is, I don't think the people running this game are the right ones for the job, and unless upper management finally realizes this fact, the game will continue to be marred by problems, and its continued existence will very much be a topic of discussion.

In fact, I personally think that this site's existence is probably a big part of why LOC continues its existence (though not the only reason). The fact is, this wiki is one of the larger and more active wikis on Wikia's netowrk (top 150 in WAM score). Having a site like this exist helps keep newer players engaged in the game, and provides free advertising simply because of this site's associations with other wikis. Monster Maestro and Galaxy Saga's issues may have been exacerbated by the fact that the wikis for those games weren't as developed or as active as this one (not that they weren't still useful resources).
