minus-square@cbarricklinkEnglish15•2 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.
