   instead of complaining about servers going offline when a company EOLs a game, crowdsource paying a hacking group to reverse engineer an open source server.

     @BronzeAgeHogCranker that's why you use a hacking group, they already anonymous

     If that's the goal, the game server will turn out proprietary.
     
     @birdulon >they stop being so anonymous when they put up a payment address
     If they put up a Monero address, they'll indeed remain anonymous.

     @lispi314 I was pointing out how it seems that many projects that have wishy-washy buzzwords as the goal like "open source" usually end up proprietary, due to a lack of a solid goal towards freedom.

     It was proprietary. In reverse-engineering it, it is liberated, at least in function if not origin.
