RIP. I hope the levels were backed up.

    Yeah… For battle royal and extraction shooters I think it would also be pretty hard to come close to the experience on private servers.

    Granted, I wouldn’t mind being able to play e.g. Hunt Showdown with some friends on a private server/in a private match. It wouldn’t be what it is today, but it could still be fun.

    It’s not like games with large populations are really getting shut down anyways. The games that are killed are already dead for most people. I really only am bothered by it when it’s a clearly single player/offline friendly game.

      BRs never caught my interest but I always assumed they where a clean slate each game, which is actually the perfect kind of game for private servers.

        The thing about them is you need people to be at close to the same skill level or they’re just not fun.
