  Mobile Premier League publishes no versioning policy, no deprecation policy, no Sunset/Deprecation
  header contract (RFC 8594), no SLA and no status page. What this file records instead is the
  observed lifecycle state of the developer surface the company used to operate.

  what_it_was: >-
    A game-developer program: a Developer Dashboard / Developer Console at developer.mpl.live and a
    publish-and-monetize SDK, documented at docs.developer.mpl.live, that let third-party studios
    ship a single build to the MPL app and monetize it through MPL tournaments under a revenue-share
    agreement.

      DNS answer is a CNAME to dualstack.prod-developer-dashboard-2060818981.ap-south-1.elb.amazonaws.com;
      the CNAME target itself returns NXDOMAIN, so the name does not resolve to an address. Dangling
      record pointing at a deleted AWS load balancer.
    status: 0
  - url: https://docs.developer.mpl.live/docs
    observed: NXDOMAIN — the docs host has no DNS record at all, though it is still indexed by search engines.

    observed: Wayback holds a 2022-10-07 snapshot of the "MPL Developer Dashboard" landing page.

  note: >-
    Recorded as an observation about hosts, not as a claim about MPL's commercial intent. The
    program may have been retired, moved behind a private channel, or folded into partner
    management; MPL publishes no notice either way.
