SWBFSpy & SWBF Re-releases

[Anyder]

Hello community! 

As you might have read online, SWBF will be re-released with some match-making function instead of the classic MP server choice we have had since the game was released 20 years ago.

It is clear that now SWBF has lacked activity, and this is perhaps a decision taken by Disney/LucasArts as a means to boost it somehow. However, SWBFSpy will remain functional as it has been for the past 8 years. SWBFSpy is here to stay 

Once the game is re-launched we'll find what is needed to revert the changes and share it with everyone. Take into account that we know just as much as you do on this matter.

When the new system is launched, we'll make sure to support it as well.

If there are any questions, feel free to drop them, and we'll try to have them answered ASAP.

-SWBFspy Leads.

This aged like milk. I'm curious what source gave you this explicitly false information?

Bro literally signed up with the express intention of trying to roast this post.

There's not one source. Questions had been asked several times by different players and asked if we had more information. So we decided to make it clear that whatever the outcome is, SWBFGamers will be there to support, and we won't be shutting down SWBFSpy.

If that doesn't clear your concerns, please, reach me privately to have a conversation.

What part of that causes you concern?

Out of curiosity Led, what about trying to have SWBFSpy appear on the new server list in game? Not sure if that's entirely possible, but with the new collection, would you potentially be able to have it appear as a dedicated server on the new server list in the Classic Collection?

[Anyder]

As soon as we have a stable server expertise for the CC, we'll set up servers there too.

[Luna]

Awesome. It'll be nice to have another server to go to that isn't Aspyr servers - Not gonna lie, I have no idea how long Aspyr will keep these servers up for. Touch wood that it's for a long time.

[Anyder]

I believe Aspyr will keep servers up for a while. In businesses nowadays (4.0), nobody would invest in short-term projects.
Also, it would generate disengagement with customers (if not asking for a refund) if after paying around 30€/35$ for a game, it quickly loses what is advertised on its promotion page about internet multiplayer.

SWBFSpy remains a public alternative for SWBF players who choose to use it.
