   Epic's boneheaded decision to leave users in the lurch (https://u.fsf.org/3vm) is exactly why we need events like the #DayAgainstDRM. Allow users to run their own servers, make modifications, and keep the fun going for years to come -- don't lock them out with DRM!

     @endDRM with UT/unreal gold/ut2003/4 you can use an alternate master server by editing the ini file. Newer games don't let you do this and especially not rock band or similar games.

     @PhenomX6 @endDRM once you're forbidden to host your own servers, the game is bound to die and be forgotten
