ITT: Time travelers from 2009, thinking my_game_dedicated_server.exe is still how all online games work.

I'm sorry to inform you that this is 2024, AWS has invaded every cubic centimeter of computing, and most companies couldn't extract a business-critical system from the rest of their infrastructure in a way that another company could run it even if they had 3 years and 100 million dollars to get it done.

Found the executive. You're the crow in this meme.

No. They can release source code or documentation for others to work off of, no one is asking them to deliver a fully functioning standalone version.

For that matter you could just do community developed servers.

Look at headscale

My yin, being required to provide what they do have and nothing more would be a huge boon to community driven efforts to preserve it. "Not everything can be perfect so therefore we should do nothing" is a bad take.

That's BS

You don't start big. You start small and then scale up from there.

AWS

Which runs very same dedicated server. And, as it was pointed out above, source code is fine too.
