I just cannot wait to see what happens when a server attempts to take donations. I would love to see a copy of that "Server License".

[Uhzu]

Oooof rip servers.

[Zephyrus]

well Nitrado injected big money in the company so deals will be made.

If you are "Forced" to do anything, I would say avoid it at all costs. This just seems like a cash grab game and now this? yup, definitely.

As per Nitrado regulations you are allowed to take donations and money via VIP/Kits and what not. (Just read it randomly while setting mine up)

They explain quite clearly why it's more expensive on their site.

Like, sure you can say that's nonsense etc but it seems pretty solid reasoning. This game needs much beefier servers apparently.

they say becuase of ram which makes no sense since under the hood its a 1:1 copy, even the unreleased things like skiff en tek shield are already spawnable but bugged.

lets be realistic that the only reason their servers are so exspensive is becuase of that $4mil and market monopoly.

Wow, what bs! You can only have one dedicated server if you host at home? That's asinine. I ran multiple servers in the original

Its 2023 almost 2024

Server tech is cheaper then ever, I only see this as an excuse.

32$CAD for minimum 26 slots when i only want to play with my best friend without a 180m tether.

That's incredibly overpriced good lord.

Is there no way to host your own server? This should be a standard feature of any modern survival game.

you need a license from nitrado which you only get if you have 10k community members

Wow that's a pathetic money grab if I've ever seen one.

yup we won't be getting it, we waited patiently for the launch and reading that we can't host a dedicated server with all of their stipulations...absurd in this day and age. To have a monopoly on unofficial servers is wrong, that was the whole point for the community. So we can run the games how we wanted to and not be dictated as to what we can or can't do with it. Let alone for me anyway it's nearly a $60 game, can't say I'd pay that for an early access game at any point.
