Comment on MultiVersus officially closes down and is delisted today
XiberKernel@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoIt worked for USB C? And y’all have alternate app stores over there too. I don’t believe it’s unrealistic to guarantee that a product you sell will remain functional after support ends.

Eh, we’ll see. USB C and other app stores made Apple gain less money, whereas this petition would make it cost more to implement such a thing, and could be a sizeable problem for specific games which heavily relies on proprietary algorithms or just the game itself, such as mmorpg, small companies…

It’s honestly very little work to implement a way for a game to be offline… Basically just remove the method that checks for a server and that’s it…
What could be a bit more costly would be releasing server implementations so people can host their own game servers, but it should still be expected… Actually it wouldn’t be that hard IF it’s taking into account from the get go coz you can just release the last release before being shut down and that’s it

An online-only game without server requirement… isn’t a game anymore

It is if there’s ways to shift the server connection to a community hosted server…
