> Remember the days when the server component was included with the base game? Anyone could launch a server and play with friends and strangers online. I miss those days. I hear you, but several of the games in this particular announcement seem like they're from that era: * Unreal Gold * Unreal II: The Awakening * Unreal Tournament 2003 * Unreal Tournament 2004 * Unreal Tournament 3 * Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition IIRC, back then the games usually shipped with the server component and all servers were run by players, and the publisher only ran a simple directory server. Since those directory servers were so simple, I think I seen cases where someone cloned them, then batched the binary to just to go a different address for the directory.
