Why do corpocuck shills meltdown when we ask for basic private servers? Why do they post the same strawman arguments again and again?

The server infrastructure of Fortnite is extremely complex

You would either have to force them to open source tons of private stuff that couldn't just simply be open sources, or put in an extreme amount of work to allow you to run Fortnite private servers

What if they were going bankrupt? What punishment would you have?

Good thing the initiative is not retroactive and devs and publishers can kill Fortnite so you can never play it again, I guess

I'm introducing Stop Making Games initiative. We don't need more games. The backlog is already too long. Too many old games to play and new ones suck. Enough.

If you want to save games you have to stop buying slop instead of demanding that the government force these devs to support their slop forever

This isnt a hot take, anyone with a brain knows this. Take your gamer gate 2.0 back to r*ddit

The server-side infrastructure of modern live-service games is necessarily extremely complex and involves many custom private things specific to how they would run it

Telling game developers all new games will have to potentially make a generic open source public equivalent for people to run would be a huge hurdle

I think people just aren't programmers and don't understand

They are either just paid shills or Americans.
Either way they should be ignored.

if they can't handle making netcode for domestic use they have no business making netplay video games.

I bet it's a single switch you can flip in about 30 seconds.

I might be wrong, but I've "definitely been wrong about this" and then it turn out I was right too many times to give devs or publishers any sort of benefit of the doubt.

I do understand, I simply do not care because I have no financial stake in the success of these companies and therefore no incentive to defend them.
