can you sum up what he said i cant look and listen to this idiot

Subscription model is 100% a viable option, just nowhere near as lucrative. If people didn't touch cash shops, companies would revert back to subs and/or find alternative methods. Quality content would then be the norm, since devs would be actively working to hold onto and increase subs. This isn't likely to happen any time soon because, well, people can't even sit through a short video.

I imagine, considering it's not EQ that passed hands but the guys who own the guys who own it, nothing will change. That said, screw PGI and the bait-and-switch with what they did with MW5. Feels gross being under the same umbrella as EverQuest now as far as overall ownership. Yuck.

My dream would be as follows reskin the original EQ game with Unreal Engine, it’s pretty dam simple and I for sure would pay 15 dollars a month for that.

If the new company owns the IP they own the code and I am sure no user agreement from any IP owner of EQ allowed the end user to run their own EQ servers. The agreement between Daybreak and P99 didn't give P99 any rights but only allowed it to continue at the will of Daybreak. The new company has every legal right to prevent anyone from running their own eq server using any of the original game code. They could easily make the argument that emulated servers hurt them financially due to allowing people to play their game without needing to pay them to do so even if the people running the emulated servers don't make profit (spend all donations purely to run the server and not pay anyone).
I'd monitor the news and hopefully the company won't shut it down.
