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.
Are there a lot of server based indies where you can’t run your own server? I might be totally off base because of the kinds of games I like, but MMO type games don’t really seem like the domain of indie developers.
