There will come a time in the future when wartune [or any current online game] is no longer cost effective for any company to run as players will have either become bored/maxed out. Perhaps it would happen because gaming fashion changes, lets face it no one plays pong or space invaders these days.
Perhaps it will happen because newer better games will take the players from the old games, but one thing is CERTAIN - there will come a time, in the not too distant future
where there is no money to be made hosting a wartune server.
What I want to know, is when that happens, will Wartune be put out into the public domain, so people can still play it (there will be hard core people who never want to stop playing) either for fun or nostalgia? Or even just to show the grand kids what we used to play?
I hate to think of spending such a large amount of my time playing a game (yeah I know there are better things to do with life) when in a short few years its likely the game will only be a distant memory and a mention on some wiki pages.
It would be nice to have some re-assurance from the powers that be, that one day, when its no longer profitable, it will be released to the hard core fans who can run their own servers...
