We definitely can speculate. I honestly think they are scared blizzard will follow through with legal action if the release the code. Or maybe they want to find the right group to start up the server instead of splitting the player base. I felt like they sincere in they just wanted to create vanilla but I could definetly be wrong

I'm just saying

if they weren't making any money they wouldn't have folded so easily

Even if they didn't Blizzard would've won. You can't use an IP even with 0 profit unless you lease/own it.

If they did, still don't care - they worked hard to make that server decent and they deserved smtn from it.

And I doubt they got much if they did at all.

The law is 100% on Blizz's side, and rightfully so in that instance. You can't use a company's IP without permission, even if it's not for profit. You can't argue this from a legal standpoint because no matter what, Blizzard is in the right.

The argument is entirely from a moralistic standpoint, which is also harder to work from because quite frankly, Blizz does actually have the moral highground because again it's their IP being used.

You don't. It sucks but that's the nature of games that periodically update, much like how you can never go back in TF2 (unless you still have a copy of Orange Box).

Now I never used Nost because quite frankly I like to look forward when it comes to games, I don't like to dwell in the past and play things as they once were forever. But I get why some people do, but since these games don't have an offline component, when things change that's really all there is to it.

You think you do.


But wouldn't you rather ride around in a bad ass chopper slaying fags with the legendary ashbringer?

>You think you do.

You know what? I'm going to play Devil's Advocate for a minute with that "you think you want it, but you do" cunt. I think he's utterly wrong, but I'm going to look at it from his pov.

This guy did not seem like he had the mindset of a player. He's a programmer and that's it, everything to him is based on the programming point of view. Of COURSE he doesn't see why people would want Vanilla, because the things that appealed to those players had nothing to do with the mechanics or gameplay. Those things were garbage in Vanilla, all he sees is a barely-functioning, clunky game. But to the players it was an experience, it really did feel like being among all the others.

The gamecube version still functions just fine, even the online component. But you basically need to set up playing coming to play beforehand or it'll be empty.

Also 'Nostalius' or how ever the fuck you say it is one of the most cringe names in fucking history
