    Why are you bringing up Minecraft? That game has always had user servers.

    Because it is the most popular game using user servers, and also makes a lot of money, punching holes in your claim that centralized server hosting is entirely profit-driven.

    I’m saying you’re a shill because you’re repeating the same excuses game publishers make when they take away features in a profiteering manner

    Consider the possibility that I agree with them.

    I challenge you to explain, with recent examples, how user servers are objectively worse than official ones

    This has never been a thing I’ve said. Again, we are discussing history.

      Minecraft doesn’t only have centralised servers, it also has user servers. It’s a poor example.

      We’re not talking about history, we’re talking about user servers. You said user servers were taken away because they were crap in the 90s, I pointed out they were incredibly popular in the 00s - before they were taken away.

      Your statement is wrong. Your telling of history is wrong, you’ve mixed up your dates.

      Edit: Apologues for all the double posts, I keep getting timeout errors. I thought it was just my poor signal, but apparently it isn’t that as ym signal is fine now. Yay v0.19 lemmy!

        This is why I brought Minecraft up lol

        I don’t think you’re following this discussion so let’s just let it go.

        No worries on the double posts. Happens to me all the time too.
