First off, let's remove any sentences that say "can be found here" that don't in fact lead somewhere it can be found.

I don't think we have to cut the page or move it to Unpublished Works because the work has become lost media; it was publicly available for some four years and could well be recovered in the future. Not sure exactly what the protocol is, though.

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

It depends on the state of the article page. If the examples are written well to offer proper trope context and not require readers to access links to get the full trope context, the page should be keepable even if the media is lost and cannot be accessed anymore.

If the examples are not well written and force readers to visit links to get context for tropes, then they need to be removed or commented out as per Zero-Context Example and Weblinks Are Not Examples. If there are not enough proper tropes left from removing and commenting out items, then the page may be liable to be cut.
