    See if a very popular game came in the late 00’s had user ran servers we didn’t actually move away from them in the late 90s even if there were games in the late 90s that did not have user servers.

    With no user ran servers it’s not only pirates who cannot play multiplayer games but even paying customers when the developer decides it’s not worth it anymore.

      We did if it isn’t common. “Moving away” very specifically is a term used when something isn’t abandoned outright but is much less common than before

      Yeah I’m not wholly in support of this, I’m just explaining how we got here. That seems to upset people quite a bit for reasons I cannot understand.
