minus-square@cbarricklinkEnglish15•10 days ago it’s unrealistic to assume it would exist forever. Older multiplayer games would let you self-host the server, long before the current trend. Ubisoft doesn’t have to continue to host servers. They just have to release the server code. Zero cost to them.
minus-square@emax_gomaxlinkEnglish1•9 days ago zero cost to them I would imagine it would reveal how sh*tty the ubisoft code bases are and has a reputation cost XD. But if it’s that big of a risk then they should keep the servers running indefinitely.
