Or here's an idea: normalize self-hosted servers again. We managed just fine before everything went full GaaS post-2014. What you said is clumsy at best so is impossible to write a real response to.
So instead I'll make you my captive audience. I don’t care about you getting access to some online-only gacha trash in 2025. I want a return to pre-2014, when you bought a game, it worked, and it wasn’t wrapped in battle passes or Las Vegas-style psychological traps.
No, I don’t want the server source code for exploitware. And if you think that’s what “preservation” should mean, you’re completely off the reservation. Games like Genshin Impact shouldn’t be saved — they should be labeled for what they are: worthless, arbitrary gambling products with zero long term value.
