@Fringecrow@yiff.life @mdstevens0612@mas.to thats definitely a factor. But it's never been easier for people to learn how to run their own servers and never easier to get hardware to do that. The percentage of technically inclined gamers used to be almost 100% cos it HAD to be. But gamingnis more mainstream, and more accessible now. So that larger non-technical market get catered to. There's a whole lot of more in depth reasons why bigger studios want to manage their own servers too of couese, but thisnisnt really the forum for it. I definitely think companies should release the server code to the community when they depricate the service.
