Rage may not support dedicated servers, John Carmack muses
And the dedicated servers drama continues.
This time it’s not coming from Infinity Ward however and their Modern Warfare 2 bombshell (Over 100,000 angry fans signed a petition protesting Modern Wafare 2’s lack of dedicated server support) but from one of the prime leaders in the PC field . . . John Carmack, co-creator of Doom and tech lead/co-found at id Software.
Speaking to Variety, he had this to say regarding dedicated server support in their upcoming first-person shooter Rage. To quote Variety:
John Carmack, co-founder and technical wizard of the developer, says the company doesn’t plan to support dedicated servers for the multiplayer component of “Rage,” id’s upcoming new action game.
“It’s not cast in stone yet, but at this point no, we don’t think we will have dedicated servers,” he says.
It looks like the precedent that people feared has already been set with Modern Warfare 2. Now it’s simply up to the game companies themselves and which side of the issue they fall on.
