More than likely devs will make decisions around how much time they want to invest. | |||

Servers and their maintenance can be quite expensive. I would be very surprised if player donations would be sufficient to cover it at this point. I would also imagine that donations are very sporadic, so any money that does come in isn't some never ending cash flow that covers the cost every month. | |||

Correct. If you were intelligent you would be able to do the math on this one. If you think that lifetime donation revenue doesn't cover server costs we wouldn't be here.
Wake up. | ||

There's a very real possibility that if p99 were to shut down, they would incur a net loss all things considered. You don't know what the server costs are, the stability of donations, nor whether the owners put up their own money to keep things afloat. You have none of that information. Linking to a wikipedia article about a mathematical concept doesn't just magically make it apply to everything. | |||

If GINA is allowed, and can handle these functions, then there is no good reason that the client and UI cannot possess these functions. Blue should revert to its state a few years ago. Let blue be the "wild west" server where shit just goes down. make green your "Helicopter Parent" server, where all of those "classic" features and rules are rigidly adhered to. | |||

The devs most valuable asset is their time.
Talk all you want about unknowns and fixed costs indicating you never ran a business or a server before. Devs figured that out long ago. Their time is what matters most | ||
