The whole “ITS A LIVE SERVICE IT CANT JUST BECOME SINGLE PLAYER” argument fundamentally misses every single easy point about community hosted servers.

It’s the most prevalent, and also most stupid argument I keep seeing pop up.

I miss Hawken so god damned much…

Perfect example of a game that could easily have been community hosted

It’s crazy how they act like no one else could run a server for a live service game.

We used to fucking buy and rent servers to game on our own private servers.

Its wild how this disappeared and all server structure just got consolidated into shit like AWS and Azure.

I mean having devs turn over the games to players after they cease development is not crazy at all.

Live service games can still absolutely be playable once development has ceased.

Anyone can run a server.

Stop killing games is a no brainer initiative

Why? What about their strategy right now it because of the way things are changing?

None of it is. It is because of mismanagement that happened with Don Matrick and the OG Xbox one focusing on fucking cable hookups and banning their users from borrowing physical games.

That corporate garbage in Xbox NEVER fully disappeared and now they’re reaping what they sowed.

Also not releasing an exclusive game worth buying since before 2014 is a wild strategy.

Oh absolutely.

Idk where I am I don’t see many non movie ads

I love the ads lol, new movies. Dope as hell.

Talk about putting part of your life’s work completely out to pasture.

I give it a year. What a shame.

Lmao friend, if you did that we’d have to pay you, no questions asked lol

This reminded me in the best way of reading magazines back in the day.

The only thing missing is a sweet demo disc

Fair, but it would also be nice if Arma 4 would be out soon.

There is a lot of awesome quality of life in reforger that is difficult to go back from lol.

Not impossible, but difficult

Time to check back in.

Arma 3 provided so many hours of pure fun through the 2010s.

I miss that game.
