This comes after a sea of games have been lost due to the creators turning off the servers. While community remake projects like RELB for Lawbreakers, Loadout Reloaded and a server emulator for The Crew exist, they’re miles behind where we’d be if publishers just released a way to host our own servers before killing their creations. They need more signatures from European citizens and then the proposal goes to a board who decide what to do with it.

      This is an excellent response to the piratesoftware video:

      No it isn’t, it isn’t a response to that video AT ALL. Rossman’s video was uploaded on August 4th. The Pirate Software video I linked was uploaded on August 6th.

      Rossman is responding to a small section of a PirateSoftware livestream several days ago talking about Stop Killing Games off the top of his head on stream, not a fully edited and planned video after he had a chance to look more in depth.
