Do you remember zombie apocalypse MMO Urban Dead? It's shutting down after nearly 20 years
Urban Dead, the long-running zombie MMORPG you can play in your internet browser, is shutting down next week, after almost 20 years due to a new UK law.
[sad barhah]
"The strongest protections in the Act have been designed for children," an explainer says. "Platforms will be required to prevent children from accessing harmful and age-inappropriate content."
Fuck them kids. Monitor your children's internet access if you don't want them seeing weird shit. Same as unsupervised access to television, books, magazines-- anything. The world is not for children.
Since the dev team is A Guy, hopefully he chooses to hand off to someone in a slightly less stupid country. Short as that list has become.
That's why I homeschool "my kids" in a dank cellar, where they also eat, sleep, and shit. I'm saving them from "the world" /s
Seriously - it is a balancing act, and something that every parent should struggle with. You can't protect them from everything, especially as they get older. Education is key.
man thats so sad, I had just started to play this game, was having so much fun
So soon? I almost had this barricade destroyed
I remember being in the US Army Infantry group and using a forum to plan attacks and defenses and to get rezz'd.
I'm going to miss being Bob.
guessing this will come back in some slightly remixed form hosted in a more reasonable country.
Aww man, good times hunting people on the Rogues Gallery.
Man, the uk sucks
