已经过了好几天,不过还是提一下。
这个计划 (Marvel Powers United Revival Project) 在收到了 Meta 的“善意提醒”后
,已经撤除一切载点和终止后续的多人模式(即便已经几乎完成)。
以下文字备份自 Marvel Powers United Revival Project 的 DC 频道关闭前的最后一篇
公告,除了说明原委之外,更重要的是一个关于 “Stop Killing Games” (停止杀掉游
戏) 的连署:
https://www.stopkillinggames.com/
在数位版游戏当道的时代,玩家的权利逐渐从“所有权”变成“使用权”,而且根据使用
条款,游戏厂商得以随时终止服务,也就是已经“购买”(非有期限的订阅)在收藏库里
面的游戏,随时可能被游戏商片面决定下架,就永远消失,即使是单机游戏也无法继续游
玩,这其实是不合理的现象。如果认同这个诉求,欢迎加入连署。
Hello @everyone.
Unfortunately, we regret to announce today that the “Powers Revival Project”
will be closed and completely removed in the following days.
While we, in good faith, wanted to help legitimate game owners download the ga
me as most had already [uninstalled it at Meta's request after shutdown](https
://www.resetera.com/threads/oculus-exclusive-marvel-powers-united-vr-shutting-
down-march-21st-completely-unplayable-after-that-date.336714/), that ultimatel
y ended up being a terrible decision as we were unintentionally infringing on
the copyrighted files belonging to Meta Platforms (MP). As would be expected,
they've kindly asked us to take down this project and any infringing files.
Unfortunately this also means that we will not be releasing our multiplayer se
rvers that were very close to being finished. Please don't attack Meta Platfor
ms or any of the original developers at Sanzaru for this as this is well in th
eir right to do so and the mistake lies entirely with us.
As a final request, we'd like to urge everyone to (if possible) sign the ["Sto
p Killing Games" initiative](https://www.stopkillinggames.com/). If this initi
ative was in place, this situation would not have happened and it's sad to see
that so many times games get killed off and fan projects get taken down. Plea
se sign this and spread the word. If possible get family/friends/anyone to sig
n, this would be a massive win for gamers & consumer rights!
We're still attempting to negotiate to see if there's any possible chance we c
an continue but it's highly unlikely and if we don't hear back positively the
server will be deleted as scheduled.
Thanks to everyone for supporting the project while it existed, even though it
wasn't very long from all of us here at the Powers Revival Team, Goodbye
