on the poll i tried to set up, this was a possible answer - not right now but still talking/considering/investigating. the best way to say no in terms of pushback.and we just wanted to take a moment to let you know that while we’re still discussing the possibility, we won’t have any updates to share on that until after the show.

WTF guys? I want to see a vanilla server, an official one. But I will NEVER play on a unofficial one. They are stealing property of others, it does not matter if the game is different today, that does not justify you stealing and using their IP.

Not claiming otherwise. Doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't discuss what we think and believe in, and the morality of things. Laws change. The concept of intellectual property, the rights of the creator and the rights of the consumer are not universally seen the same in every country and time period.
I'm not saying these things to justify doing something illegal. I'm saying these things should be discussed and not just accepted as dogma and enforced without care for circumstance, intent, pros and cons. Especially when it comes to the point of people demonizing and overall becoming hostile toward those who commit said crime, seemingly without giving any thought as to what is actually involved, instead going straight to "must be punished" as soon as they believe what happening is illegal.

Of course it can (and should) be discussed, but the mmoc forums (and forum-goers) are not the best place to do so. As is 95% of the internet.
Everybody thinks they're right when they clearly aren't, and 1600 pages later, you're still debating "what if Kojima banned mgs" or if "the car is the same but blue" I mean, come on...
I don't know how else I should say it - they could have been true to their word in that they didn't take any specific steps to "release" it more than it was already "released" when they were taking that additional meaningless obligation, and that means absolutely nothing in that any number of people can have it without their permission. Did even all of them sign that thing you think is so binding and enforceable? I doubt even that is true.
Of that you can be sure.
