Maybe I'm 🌈, but there's an uptick of these type of projects. Animal Crossing as you mentioned, Megaman X Dive, Botworld Odyssey, Wayfinder (MMO turned into singleplayer game), Relic Hunter Legends (same as Wayfinder) and even smaller gacha games like Dragalia Lost have multiple private servers running. I guess we've reached the point where companies (and very dedicated fans) would rather just invest a little bit more money into games so the millions they already invested won't just go to complete waste. Wish this would've happened earlier though, maybe we'd have servers or a singleplayer version of Final Fantasy Record Keeper.

Yep. I know you can spend as low as zero dollars in these games but the fact that you can spend thousands and then just lose it all once the server closes is fucked. Doesnt matter if the game is 'dead' and you can only gawk at the pngs or play old stages, you should get to keep it.

I also got megaman x dive on steam sale. Never played it when it was live (iirc it was a gacha), had no interest when it was but once it got cheap enough I grabbed it. No where near as good as a real megaman x game but the face that it existed and the iaps got converted to in game currency (you just buy unlocks instead of gambling) made me appreciate it. That's extra revenue for capcom. The conversion couldn't have been that hard.

Maybe it is for mald. Maybe that's why mald is against it. He imagines the conversion work and his 20 years as a fraud and it seems daunting.

Maybe piratesoftware should have a sit down with someone like john carmack on video to proof his elite coder cred :story:

Some of them have cool settings weighed down by gachaslop. It'd be cool if there were a way to play those games without the gacha mechanics when they reach end of life.

Like, my hope (tempered by what I can reasonably expect from developers and publishers) is that when they reach end of natural lifespan, gacha games become once-pay products with existing fans grandfathered in, and everyone else can just pay a flat fee and get the full game as it was. Allows it to continue existing as a trickle of revenue for the developers, so there is value in that.

Unironically the best tower defense game I ever played was arknights. But stopped playing it due to the gachaslop attached to it.

The number of games that would be good if not bogged down by a shitty skinner box is larger than we'd think. Gacha games are also the prime target for SKG, since hundreds of them release and get shut down within a year or two. Sure, most of them suck balls, but they still deserve preserving.

Less of a deliberate decision (which would be laudable) but more of a 'we fucked it all up so hard on our own and also by trusting Digital Extremes (Warframe) that we had to do SOMETHING to salvage our product' but yeah, I do like seeing games go from fated-to-die live service slop to something that will at least boot and let you play without phoning home.

That is true, the same thing happened with Relic Hunter (Gearbox Publishing got shut down), but gotta give credit where credit is due, since they also could've just binned the games (and subsequently, the studio, likely).
 
Looks like Europe is going to achieve it's independence from game destruction on America's birthday!

It's a combination of pewdiepie throwing his weight, and last minute revaluation by people who were mislead by Malding Fagtree.
I really hope the EU actually does something though.

Edit: Looks like Ross uploading started the fire. June 23rd being the day he uploaded the video.
