Mans been at it since 2019. Does have a good point, though
Much like FNAF, if the original creator of the game needs to move on or feels its dying, they should give an option to players to support the game themselves, through private fan-run servers. Something to keep those playing it in good standing
Or they could be right in pulling the plug, if costs of maintaining other games goes up, and they need more space for other games on servers, then they could be right in pulling the full plug. Just sucks for those who were interested in the game
