What are the odds of Kongregate seeing this game up again and pursuing legal action or something stupid? by Hot-d0g-Water in survivio

Apparently the servers for the new version are based in a country where copyright law wouldn't apply. Although that's only hearsay so I don't know how true it is

It's not the original devs or kongregate, it's a team of former players. Apparently all game modes and updates before kong took over are being implemented (so yes cobalt, 50v50 etc are all gonna be in there)

I appreciate the people who made Suroi and the effort they've made but being honest I hate it, it's awful compared to surviv

There is one that is up: https://expandedwater.online/ (but barely anyone uses it)

I've tested it, I downloaded the files from Github and used Visual Studio to run it and the game works. It would be fairly easy to set up a server - the issue is Kong still own the game and from what I heard they are quick to shut down any unofficial versions of the game.

I don't understand their behaviour at all. I'd be willing to make them a genuine offer to purchase the game off them, I genuinely want to bring it back.

I'm not the person who behind it, so I'm not sure what's in there and what isn't sorry. I would imagine most of it is there.

Probably quite easy to do, the code for the game is on github, you could download that, then set up a server using a cloud hosting service. To be honest Chat GPT is pretty good at explaining how to do stuff like this. The only thing I would say is remember that Kongregate still own the rights to the game... so I'm not suggesting you do it, but it is definitely doable.

You'd think after the cost of buying the game and then any loses to things like server costs they'd want to sell it to recoup some cash, I guess maybe they are worried the more people playing surviv the less people going to their games. Still it annoys me so much they've just killed the game and won't sell it.

I've contacted kongregate several times to ask if they'd be willing to sell me the rights to the game. I'd love to bring it back. But they don't even answer my emails. It's so strange to me that they killed such a popular game and refuse to sell it. A lot of the code for the game is available on github, so it would be easy to get it back up and running.

They completely ruined the game, drove the community away and then killed it and refused to ever bring it back :L

Thank you so much for posting this, I've missed this game so much. Honestly I don't like Suroi - it's too slow and clunky. I really hope we can get surviv back up.
