Holy shit
good, stormgate shills were faggots
>>736290178This is why you always design your Multiplayer games with a P2P mode.
>>736290178>"won't have any impact on players"Because there aren't any left lolololol
lmao single player kings we run this town.
what kind of absolutely fucked up server infrastructure can't just be drag-and-dropped onto a new server
>>736290178>make a multiplayer game>turn off servers because burning money>"u-uh..! an AI company ate our servers!!!"they should be sued for all their money and blacklisted from ever making video games againthese scam games just keep popping up every month
>>736290332It's an excuse to not pay for new servers. The game has single digit players
>>736290178#PedosArePeopleToo
>>736290178Ai literally killing video games.
>>736290872Thats why we have the #StopKillingGames movement, AI is not killing games, greedy companies are!
>>736290401Finally someone gets it!
First time hearing about this game.Too bad, I guess?
>>736290401>>736290178"We want the Onirism audience"
>>736291714idk what that means
>>736291779
>>736290332Probably something that's designed in far larger scale than what they can reasonably afford or want to pay for the absolute 0 number of players they have.
>>736290178Why not just setup a new VPS network?Or is the point they completely outsourced that work?
>>736290401How else is Nick Tasteless Plott's mom supposed to eat if not for scam games?
>>736290178>f2p competitive rtsI can see why someone would do this but it seems like a shit idea
>>736291834sure anon, still no idea what you're trying to say but I'm sure it's funny or something
>>736290178Can't they sue for breach of contract and make enough to hire a new server provider?
>>736290401>>736291027Ok, but you do realize you can look shit up and actually see that their server provider, Hathora, has an announcement on their website that they've been acquired by Fireworks AI and are discontinuing its service for game companies. They say it very explicitly. I mean, they're still fags, because Hathora has teamed with Nitrado to offer a migration path to GameFabric, and so the devs are just taking the excuse to duck out, but nah their service getting cut because of AI is technically true. The only cope would be whether GameFabric is too expensive for the old deal they had, but they haven't said as much.
more like shitgate
Do they not just let you play P2P with your steam friends or something?
>>736292217yes anon, now explain why the fuck would any competitive multiplayer game would hire a shitty company like this to do their servers, watch it go to shit and refuse to pivot to another one to keep multiplayer onlineI'm not saying they're scamming you by lieing about the AI company bullshit, I'm saying they're scamming you for seeing this shit coming from a mile away and taking the opportunity to cut costs and run with the bag like you said, I think that's what's obviously happeningnow, I also wouldn't be surprised if they're involved in that transaction in some way either, I wouldn't put it past these wannabee tech guru californians but another conversation
>>736292449>yes anon, now explain why the fuck would any competitive multiplayer game would hire a shitty company like this to do their servers, watch it go to shit and refuse to pivot to another one to keep multiplayer onlineBecause>they're still fags>the devs are just taking the excuse to duck outlike it's IN the post, BRO
man imagine if there was some crazy, futuristic technology that let users run their own servers
>>736292413of course not. these modern game companies are staffed solely by psychopaths whose entire raison d'etre is controlling other people. why would they allow you to do anything outside of their purview? you'll play on THEIR servers and you WILL like it
>>736292569This shit is happening with fighting games too, which always run p2p but now a lot of fighters depend on external servers because of cross play even less popular ones like king of fighters xv and city of the wolves, if those go down those games would become useless if anyone gets the itch to play them in the future well tough luck,steam provides lots of shit but they dont use it because of cross play, there are lot of obscure old fighters which still see some play because of their networking being on steam which pretty much makes them immortal, things like tekken 7, kof 2002 um, kof 98 umfe, usf4, guilty gear xx, but if these newer games get a little obscure their companies will just shut down their servers since they are no longer profifable
>they fell for the gook sports clicker meme>again>again>again>again>again
>>736291186Dumb newfag
>>736290401They weren't lying about that part, their server company really did get bought by an AI company
>>736290332It's made up bullshit contracts exist.>I buy thing you give me thingBuying out the server provider doesn't nullify this arrangement short of the new owner paying them fat stacks to fuck off.
>>736291973Is that really his mom?
