Oh come on. I even paid money for that game. How on earth can they not afford to develop it?!
Developers should be forced to make their game server code Open Source if they close shop.
at least 1 million Europeans agree with you.
Imo open sourcing is not necessary, as that is unrealistic depending on the licensing of libraries etc. Just distributing the server and making it possible to selfhost would be enough.
Or, built local network play in to the game itself (although this requires most of the work necessary for creating a selfhostable server anyway).
The ability to bug fix the code years down the line would be godsent
Would also like this for any source available or proprietary app not just Vidya when they close shop.
