They’ll release one more update (my guess is whatever release-ready content they’ve already got), then the servers will shut down next Thursday.
“We don’t need player counts to be super huge in order to be successful” is starting to ring hollow.
It’s insane that this isn’t a requirement for shutting down/delisting a game.
That’s literally what the “stop killing games” movement was/is pushing for, at least in Europe. Really hope it goes somewhere, but it’s kind of stopped making noise lately (at least that I’m hearing), what with the US speed-running fascism more and more every single week.
SKG (archived on their own YT channel not Ross) did a press conference recently and various politicals were there siding with the movement. It’s still slow but ongoing progress.
That’s good to hear.
As I knew it, it was about releasing binaries/selfhostability not source code.
Ah, good point, it didn’t require source code release so much as self-hostability in some form.
Whose requirement? Government game laws? Just don’t play this garbage.
Yes.
