This comes after a sea of games have been lost due to the creators turning off the servers. While community remake projects like RELB for Lawbreakers, Loadout Reloaded and a server emulator for The Crew exist, they’re miles behind where we’d be if publishers just released a way to host our own servers before killing their creations. They need more signatures from European citizens and then the proposal goes to a board who decide what to do with it.

    I gotta say the guy usually has based takes but I think he is way off the mark on this. Litterally all they want is if a game requires a server, give players the option to self host if the publisher is shutting down theirs.
