All games, even bland, boring, or bad ones, deserve to remain playable.
[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world [S] 12 points 9 months ago (1 child) What do you believe the cost to Sony is for community-run servers? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mechoman444@lemmy.world -5 points 9 months ago (2 children) All games, even bland, boring, or bad ones, deserve to remain playable. In answer to your question, zero, of course. The above statement is the one I have an issue with. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world [S] 6 points 9 months ago (1 child) If it costs them nothing, then what does the cost of servers have to do with anything? If someone else wants to run servers at their own expense, that's their prerogative. Why would you have an issue with a bad game remaining playable? That's valuable history that everyone can learn from. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mechoman444@lemmy.world -5 points 9 months ago (1 child) Your claim that all games deserve to remain playable is incorrect. If maintaining a game places the developer or publisher in a financial deficit, then the game does not merit continued operation. The fact that third parties find ways to keep such a game running is irrelevant; it has no bearing on whether the game inherently deserves preservation. Your position relies on an unsupported opinion and appeals to users’ emotions rather than presenting a substantive argument. As stated, it is an empty assertion without meaningful justification. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world [S] 4 points 9 months ago (1 child) I don't believe I said anything like "all games deserve ongoing maintenance". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mechoman444@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago No you didn't. ?? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 child) I don't see a "and they need to host it" But allowing/enabling community servers would allow it to stay playable at minimum cost to the developers permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago I agree but that doesn't qualify it for preservation. permalink fedilink source parent
