Epic is turning off online services and servers for some older games

Or the admin banned people that killed the admin.

Or people that were too good.

Or people that weren't good enough.

Or people that were trying too hard.

Or people that didn't give up when they were the last one on the team alive, making the admin wait longer for the next round to start.

Or people they just plainly didn't like.

Some of the hosted server admins were the og "powerhungry moderators" of today. Many seemed to be okay though.

And none of that was a problem because you could just leave and join another server. Meanwhile in modern games, if the admins (aka devs) don't like you, you get punished across the entire game.

Ahhhh, the days when you could get a certain weapon or loadout banned on the server for blowing away an admin one time too many. I kinda miss em.
