Oh I heard about this... nice little write up

Thanks a lot, the mods on r/yugioh wouldn't agree, they banned me and removed every Thread I did on this game, even though Yugioh players might be interested in these games archival/potential restoration, it's just they don't like the game personally and are such big Fanboys of Master Duel, which in their opinion is the much superior Yugioh game.

I've always been of the  mind, that emulation is salvation & things like old works and stuff in progress should be archived into the public domain, as there are a wealth of people who mod and develop out of passion, who could carry the torch.

I agree, if this game was shutdown in the last couple of years, there most likely would be a private server or smth like that already in existence by now, even if none of the code was made publically available by the developer/publisher, but for stuff that got shutdown way back it's much more difficult, especially for online only titles.

I used to play a MOBA called Paragon, and it was shut down before it even left early access. Kinda gutted, but then EPIC released the entire asset library for the game to the public, and after a few years another dev team took it on board and brought it back. Stuff like that should happen more often.

Oh yea, I know of Paragon but Konami even if they'd still have the source code for Yu-Gi-Oh! Online, they'd rather have that lying around somewhere collecting digital dust instead of releasing it to the public in fear of losing money over it. Even though they don't plan to anything with those files anyways
