LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms - IGN

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

RIP. I hope the levels were backed up.

    Not quite as important as the right to repair, but close in spirit: I would love to see a legal requirement for shut-down online games to release the server specs needed for the community to replace/maintain them.

    Edit: And data export for existing players, so our game progress can be reconstructed on community servers, of course.

        honestly copyright law shouldn’t apply to games that are no longer fully playable for any reason

            I’ve found that most people on this site don’t care about copyright in any form, so they’ll just ignore it like everything else

              Well, when companies are cutting off people’s purchases and wiping works from our cultural history, a little bit of disregard for the law that is complicit with it is pretty much necessary.

              Say, it’s through copyright violation that we can still play games from Mario Maker 1 even though the servers were shut down. People figured out how to copy it even though they weren’t allowed to.

              If this is wrong, maybe the law should be fixed to provide a proper path.

      'member when we were able to self host servers of our games? I member. CoD4 was awesome because of that, later the pirated version of MW2 too. These games (the first MW and MW2) are still alive because of that.
