The consumer movement to stop game publishers from destroying older games with kill switches after official support ends.


The goal is to reach 1 million signatures so that the european parliament will respond to the petition that then leads to game ownership protections enacted for consumers.

i bring you, the incredible concept of a dedicated server.

A few games, small ones, like minecraft, have discovered that you can just release a server binary, and people will figure everything else out, regardless of whether or not you document anything, or tell anybody how to do anything.

Even if you have a huge MMO with a centralized server, i see no reason you shouldn't have a dedicated server infrastructure.
