  BAR doesnt have servers and it can be played online. I know its not the most secure but at least do it P2P the old school way rather than tossing online completely. Kinda insane to read.

    Wasn’t Starcraft P2P?

    Everyone has suoerfsst internet, why does every game need dedicated servers and probably a subscription.

      There’s no subscription, it uses servers because otherwise cheating is 100 times easier.

      There are 2 reasons for dedicated servers, matchmaking and refereeing. Both those functions can be archived by community servers, but need to exists. If you don’t have matchmaking you need to find opponents for each game by yourself.
      If you have no referee, the player hosting the match can easily mod their game to have a god mode.

      Its not the best in my opinion. The graphics are not the best and the single player is pretty boring. But its free so give it a shot.

      It’s a little funny/not-funny because they dragged their feet on releasing a single player campaign for so long.

  If they had a contract I would sue for 400 million dollars.
