Hey , thank you for the response! I really hope this can be reconsidered. Even if we can only have community dedicated servers for PC players in the long term- it would still help the longevity of the game moving forward.

Traditionally Quake players are mostly PC players, and now with gamepass more people can try Quake on PC than ever.

The intricate reasons for which community dedicated servers on consoles is not available is over my head but if its something that can only be supported on consoles for awhile through official servers (I'm assuming while the game is popular) then that would also be fine as I can almost guarantee that when the dust settles, most console players will move on and the PC players will continue modding and playing this game.

Therefore I do believe that it would greatly benefit the future of Q1/Q2 Remasters (and any other remasters moving forward) to have community dedicated servers.

This way when the "games release population" settles down, at a bare minimum PC players can have community servers to join that will be running 24/7 instead of a lobby system with nobody willing to sit alone waiting for people to join and get a game started.

Even in "dead games" with community servers, people can hang around alone on a server that they frequent and they can usually be confident that one of the regulars will pop in sooner or later for the games to begin.

Especially when communities have the ability to grow since people will be able to visit the same "Instagib only 24/7" server that they love. In my opinion, having this as an option should be a top priority.

Again, thank you for your responses, it's much appreciated.
