How about 15 months? That's what happened to Alien Front Online, a Dreamcast
game that used SegaNet to connect players to each other for online play. 15
months after the game's release, Sega closes SegaNet and bingo, no more online
play (along with 99% of all the other Dreamcast online games).
Yet another reason I won't spend money on a game I can't play completely
disconnected from the 'net.
