    It’s also subtly re-enforcing capital’s position games need to operate on a centralised server model. I look back at many old multiplayer games where all I need to play with my friends is a local network. These days we get sold single player games that can’t run under those conditions.

    They aren’t scared of being made to run servers forever. Quite the opposite, they are scared of us not needing them to.

      Doesn’t even have to be local.

      Still plenty of Enemy Territory servers going around. No need to set up a VPN or anything to play with your friends.
