I bet useing that much compute power for servers makes the upkeep of this game alot more expensive than most game servers. Its probably one of those games you wont be able to play multiplayer in 10years down the road.

I loved the first Crackdown. It just needed a story. Are they adding a proper plot to this. All I've seen so far is that you can destroy everything in the level, which doesn't actually sound that fun... Surely it defeats the point of being able to jump up on them if someone shoots them straight down on you?

Plenty of games from last gen that went offline and aren't even a full decade old.

Whatever happened to MAG?, Sony owned and exclusive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAG_%28video_game%29

Shutdown 4 years later....

This happened a lot with most online games from last gen and even the gen before, unless you have a private server (which consoles don't own or have) then you're SoL and it's a more common thing to see. Even if in the off chance you were to come back to me with some old games that are somehow still up on a console from say last gen, they still aren't as popular as what's going on with current gen systems at the end of the day.

And on PC its different? Warcraft 3 is pretty much dead and with cheater infested for example. I dont understand why you are trying to make it up like its exclusive to consoles

Reagent Games with additional work by Cloudgine and Sumo Digital.

Warcraft 3 isn't an online based game like you think it is and it's a mostly SP played game at the time regardless, even then Blizzard are actually working on bringing back the classics on more mordern OS's and the old titles can still be played on the likes of 7-8. I don't see why you are making it as if it's 50/50 on both, it's really not at all like that.

It should be noted that this is only pre-alpha gameplay so this is obviously not what it will look like when it's done, so it will look more better when they release it. Also the weapons aren't really going to be that powerful(with the exception of the rocket launcher) they purposely made the guns powerful just to demonstrate to destruction of the buildings, I think it's going to take ALOT of bullets than what they are showing to just destroy one building unless you use a rocket but it should take even less to destroy a wall.

My point was this is going to become the "norm" if server costs go up alot.

You ll see alot of games have servers that go offline, pretty early, in the future if everyone is offloading stuff to the cloud servers to do it for them.
