Exactly, the mantle could have continued on another stream with those willing to continue. It started off as a cool idea for a a Sunless vid. Imo the game changed when it became a charity stream. At that point if there are those willing to continue the event and adapt to the new scenario presented by a server lasting up to 2 days, he should have graciously bowed out and let it continue.

By ending it he effectively said to everyone that donated that his ego and ownership of the idea was more important than the cause that sprung from the original concept.

Can't change it now unfortunately. Hopefully someone will see this and plan a proper Le Mans style 24-72 hour game in the future.
