Sony’s Concord Is Playable Again Thanks To Fan-Made Custom Servers

thegamepost.com Sony’s Concord Is Playable Again Thanks To Fan-Made Custom Servers

Concord is not completely dead. Community developers have brought Sony's shut-down hero shooter back online with fan-made custom servers, rebuilding its backend API and getting full matches running again.

It's early stages and buggy, but it's on its way. All games, even bland, boring, or bad ones, deserve to remain playable.

Useful idiots keep telling me people won't work for free.
They say that if we don't pay businesses the prices they demand, then nothing would get done.
Why are people so stupid?
- Because they're correct, you're just being too literal in your understanding of the statement.
  Will people occasionally work for free? Sure. For friends, family, friends of friends, hell even strangers sometimes, volunteering is a thing, sure.
  Will they work for free reliably and consistently enough that they can be built upon by other people?
  Obviously not, they sometimes don't even do it for money.
  Society as it is today, with its insane population count and highly specialised workflows, requires an insane amount of logistics that absolutely can't bear "random cunt #354 decided not to work this month so the boat is without a captain" levels of random disruption without heavy consequences; this is incidentally also why strikes are extremely effective.
  No society that evolved beyond subsistence did so without some obligation to work, whether through monetary incentives or straight up serfdom/slavery; and if subsistence is all you want, I'm sure you can go live in like, some tribal commune on a Pacific island somewhere.
  
  You are a useful idiot.
  
  Sure, bud, that's why communism worked every time.
  
  If communism was destined to collapse on itself every time, why did the US spend billions on overthrowing all the communist South American countries?
  
  For the same reason the USSR did the same shit to subvert countries all over the world?
  Power blocks are the basic concept underpinning modern multipolar foreign policy decisions, it's not rocket science.
  The difference is liberal capitalism won eventually, and the USSR didn't.
  Communism didn't and never will exist in a vacuum, you know?
- Useful Idiot. They're so convinced that they're on the winning side that facts don't matter anymore.
- What makes you think people will work for free?
  I need some work done at my house, will you come take care of it for me?
  
  I wouldn't do an Internet stranger's house. But I absolutely would help a friend's or neighbors if they so asked.
  
  Also basically every chapter of Habitat for Humanity has a home repair program people can apply to
  
  Pretty sure I wouldn't qualify.
  
  Why not?
  
  Because I don't know their situation, their life. I don't have enough trust that I'll just take someone at face value from a small subset. Don't want to get jumped. Don't want to get taken advantage of.
