I started playing it again recently and it's as good and fun as ever. If they start up the development again I hope they don't make it worse, I don't want hots2 with the same 'blizzard overwatch 2' mindset.

Sounds like valid criticism, hopefully there's a mod for it soon if CDPR doesn't change it. Having to turn it off all the time sounds really annoying.
I get that it's really easy to be negative and jaded about it but cmon, I just want more (good) MMOs to play. Hello Games has both the budget and the experience to make it a good game, and the fact that they are trying to do it in a pretty struggling and stale genre is commending IMHO.
Of course I'm not preordering or believing anything they say until I see it for myself, that goes without saying - but we shouldn't actively root for them to fail like many of the comments here are seemingly doing. Let's not be "those" always-negative online people just looking for a reason to hate, I'm sure this game will finds its audience the same way NMS did eventually and I personally hope I'm one of them.
Why was there even pressure to deliver if the official API wasn't even out yet? I thought they were just working on UI and basic functionality until they can plug in the API, so if anything they had more time and leisure than if everyone were screaming "i need it now". It seems more likely they just bit more than they could chew and decided to give up the app development since it ended up being harder than they thought (and that's completely fine to do). You don't really make an app like this overnight, especially if you have no prior experience doing it.

Oh absolutely, but for me docker compose already does that. Kubernetes might be a good learning exercise but I don't think I need load balancing for 1 user, me, on the home network 😅
Thankfully! Its not even indie, it's a good game but it shouldn't have been nominated for that category in the first place.
What's the benefit of kubernetes over docker for a home server setup?
Don't give them even an inch. They are not doing this in good faith for the sake of the modders.
Is Matrix's problem just the large scale? I thought it worked relatively well if you're just using it for personal needs like smaller servers and personal bridges.
Keet is closed-source app with built-in crypto, I am not touching it with a 10ft pole. Holepunch does sound like interesting technology at first glance. It doesn't solve any of the issues mentioned above besides connectivity however.
I'm not really going to get into the technical aspect since I feel neither of us know enough to tell how feasible it is (although I think you're wrong since you do need trackers in order to find at least one other member of the swarm), but this part
If they both aren't online at once, messages won't get delivered. Which is not a big deal for a modern smartphone given that most of them are online close to all of the time.
I just a horrible take. You can't base your business model on "modern phones being online close to all of the time". You can't have random data loss whenever someone goes out of service area, has to turn on airplane mode, runs out of battery, has a software error or just an update or some other kind of temporary downtime? That's not how you design any software, less alone a dependable messaging service. You can't just "stipulate that".
I got blasted with a tidal wave of nostalgia when I saw this, the first game was amazing! I haven't even thought about it for years
