Checkout this month's issue of GamesTM on page 90 for a feature on Server Shutdowns, with quite a few quotes from me. I think the article turned out pretty good. PAL users, see if you can track this down on news stands and let me know what you think | ||||

Just read it. It's really cool to see OC referenced, but even cooler to see that they let you do most of the talking! Not many people remember what Dreamcast fans went through with all the server closures. Now that the future seems to hold only more of the same disappointments, I think more people will take notice.
Recognizing these servers and ability to interact online as we once did IS an important part of human history. Imagine if we just burned down libraries after our memberships ran out. |

Its a nice article, and you did well there, I agree with what you have said. I especially liked the last part of the article were you talk about asking PC/Indie devs to implement Direct IP connection at least for crowdfunding projects, thats a really good point.
Theres 2 errors at least though, they said Quake III for PC and it should have been for DC I presume, and the quote from the 2nd page is from you not from Olaf. But nothing major. Thanks for posting this . |

I think the article was well structured and I like how it ended with 2 very important points about existing DRM free classics with direct-ip support and encouraging online forever functions via crowdfunding.
Yea it is strange how there were those 2 errors. It should have been DC Q3, and that quote was misprinted. Oh well lol. As long as the message gets across, that is what is important. I think its just cool to see the controversial topic of server closures getting some public attention. I was happy to help with the article. |
