I do hope we get dedicated server software be normal again. I kinda want to play Overwatch 1 again. But I can’t. No server software and the game client was converted to overwatch 2.
I should be able to start overwatch 1, spin up a server and play with mubfriends right now.
Open sourcing the engines should suffice.
Ross is a legend. That is all.
I actively avoid purchasing games that don’t allow client hosting. And I generally try to avoid games that matchmake. I’m tired of shitty matchmaking. I’m tired of corporate hosted lobbies. I’m tired of getting kicked out after each match and having to matchmake with an entirely different group of players.
Give me dedicated client hosted servers. Let us form relationships with other players by playing in the same servers on a regular basis. Gaming is more fun that way.
I want to play FFRK and Everquest Next again.

+1. Often no reason to not push a open server option when they shutdown when they drop a game they sold. I am certain that publishers will just try to release them for free though and charge a subscription. May not be successful though.

Which is also fine. Then you haven't bought anything that they break after the fact. They just cancel all subscriptions.

Paying for a subscription, battle pass or items is still paying.
