well dont make them so dependent of servers, and make sure we can self host.

They could even sell the server for a final income if they're greedy enough

dont give them ideas, but this is better than literally nothing.

Honestly if it came with documentation I'd be willing to pay for the game server software

Yeah that's literally all they need to do; release the hosting software at EOL, plus a patch that does custom 'which server am I connecting to' config.
