Yeah they had to call back to Trip's death since we have such great memories of when that happened.
I'm really glad you got to experience that memories like that need to be cherished. Do you remember much cheating on your sever? Cause all i hear about is servers being a haven for cheaters but I don't remember that many.
Yeah it was not cheap I remember playing C&C on TEN. It's crazy to think it started with a sub model then everyone went free drove them out of business. Then the consoles made it sub again.
I know I have a problem but we all know Satisfactory is really a time machine. I start the game and jump forward in time by 8 hours instantly. It's the same for everyone I assume?
Also to add to this is if windows users understood what kernel level anti-cheat does most people wouldn't want it on windows ether.
I mean pay for your app i don't think boost controls the ads they run
The tick was to find your sever. With Quake 2 and Team Fortress Classic. You would find a server that meshed with the community that fit you and you would go to that server. You got to know the players that would come back over and over. It was a micro community in the larger community of the game. You became a regular sometimes were even giving mod rights very much like a lemmy community. Yeah there were asshats just like there is on here but you just don't engage with them.
Hell back when quake 2 was in heat.net we would just hang out and chat in the lobby. When playing mechwarrior 2 they had clan websites and we would battle other clans in brackets. I started in that clan by just random showing up in that lobby and someone was nice and taught me how to account for lag when targeting other mechs.
It takes a little more work to find or create your community but once you do it's so much better than the company directed dull experience. Stuff like surf servers in counterstrike or bombing run basketball servers in unreal tournament would not exist without player controlled dedicated servers.
Also scale didn't mater since it was decentralized like lemmy is. The company didn't have that much control of what players did with their severs. That's what this is what this is all about control. They want to make sure you see what they want you to see to buy that cosmetic to feel fomo. To play how they want you to play. So emergent gameplay almost never happens anymore.
And for the 60th David Attenborough's 'End of Life on Earth'
Yeah you can do most of that server side but they don't want to pay for it. Why pay when your players let you coop their machine for free or even better yet pay you for the privilege. Also player run dedicated servers would fix all of this. Don't like the cheaters movement servers. Own the server ban them. We had this working just fine in the 90s.
So the answer is no but only because the web is only one part of the internet. Someone somewhere will create a new protocol that we never thought off and start a new service and no I'm not taking about the web3 scam and crypto. Stuff like gemini and tildeverse are pockets of the 90s internet. Still alive and kicking.
I mean why do i need to read the language isn't that what the computer suppose to do?
