        By the people for the people.

        There’s still old games from 20+ years ago that have niche communities alive because of dedicated servers.

        Meanwhile some live game these days might be dead forever after a few years.

            There was a dude I worked with a few years back who’s from south Korea talking about playing Unreal in internet cafes when he was a teen and there’s a pretty decent chance he absolutely destroyed me a couple times 20 years before we met.

      The lack of server browser in modern games is definitely contributing to my unhappiness
