If anything, they shouldn't be legally allowed to modify the game at all, because making a modification to it makes the original effectively unplayable because there'd be effectively no player base.

This is fundamentally the same as Overwatch getting shut down (the old version becomes effectively unplayable). By adding a single new character they've now changed the game, and if you didn't like that addition, it's an unplayable game even if you had the option to not update. Like cool, you've now put the force of law into making them continue to manage old versions, versions that practically nobody plays on. I see little difference in the argument about the "original" Overwatch servers getting migrated to Overwatch 2 and them releasing updates which would ultimately make older versions effectively unplayable (no players).

Yeah, but one could argue by making updates to the game they're destroying the experience of the old game, taking it away from me. I could care less about rankings, they mean nothing. Now its all about ranking so its just an Ego/dopamine boosting machine. Its because of this loss of community that I have ZERO interest in modern multiplayer gaming. I was saddened and honestly very turned off to the game which is why it was uninstalled. I wanted to see what happened to No Heroes and found that they had closed up shop a year prior. I played for maybe 15 minutes, lost interest and uninstalled the game. One day I decided to install TF2 for kicks and in its place was a different game. I've lost contact with all of them but its okay, what we had during the time it existed was nice.Īfter a while, like everything else I moved on and didn't play for years. Of course you get to know the regulars, say hello and even make friends and chat on Steam. It was fun and added a bit of excitement. They used their own sound effects so if someone was stacking kills or whatever it would play announcer or musical clips. You got guaranteed slots and they had over a dozen servers for different maps.

I played TF2 for a while, found the No Heroes servers, liked the community, paid the $4/month for an account.
