I never said Toribash is shutting down tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I just tried explaining how things work. Reaffirming people that you can keep Toribash somehow alive by backing up player textures and forum attachments would be lying on my side because I know that just isn't true. In my opinion, people doing that would only waste their time and end up with a bunch of files they can't really do much with aside from keeping on their drive for memory's sake. Same goes for the hope that someone would be able to reverse engineer and put together at least bits of the required infrastructure to bring servers back on their own. That just won't happen unless you'd stumble upon some sort of a savant willing to build you a whole ass game for a pack of beer.

It may sound harsh to you but I am pretty certain barely anyone in this thread has any real idea of how multiplayer games operate, what the expenses are and so on. Which, to be clear, is completely fair as I wouldn't expect people who just play games to have a deep understanding of how things work under the hood - but it's always weird to me how a lot of gamers just assume some wild shit and then act offended when someone explains to them why those assumptions are false.

Also sorry, but I don't believe I own anyone any explanations neither on my job situation nor Nabi internal affairs. I've worked for the company for over 10 years, I'm grateful to hampa for the opportunity and it's been a fun ride overall. Unfortunately, it's come to an end and I haven't really been a Nabi employee since October.
