War on Game Servers & Self-Hosting
unknownuniverse.uk
Why industry lobbyists calling private game servers ‘piracy’ should terrify home lab enthusiasts. A look at digital ownership and corporate overreach.

I recently came across a video by Loyal Moses titled “They’re Banning Your Home Server”.

This got me thinking about what it means for anyone who likes running their own gear.

The industry lobby’s framing around private servers feels like a major mask-off moment for big tech, treating user-controlled hardware as a threat.

I have written a short piece in reaction to the video and would love to hear your thoughts.

    Love how they consider this piracy now, when for a long long time corporate hosting of multiplayer servers wasn’t even a thing that existed. You either self hosted or paid a hosting service.
