    That bit at the end with your righteous fury over Ubisoft shutting down Far Cry 3's co-op and multiplayer servers really resonated with me. I DESPISE how the games industry never bothers to preserve anything and even actively attacks efforts at preservation with lawsuits and C&D notices. So many games over the last 10 or so years have content that's dependent on servers run by the publisher. There's going to be a massive implosion in the future where 10+ years of gaming history just disappears in the blink of an eye.

    I played the co op a few times with friends and because we were in middle school and not good enough we didn't get far. I vaguely remember it being pretty hard. I do remember playing it with my older sister, beating the first level or part or whatever and both of us dying to one of the last enemies, being sent back to the beginning and losing all that progress. She rage quit and went to go listen to Justin Bieber in her room. Ah, 2012.

    Funny that you did this after the Total Overdose, because at that game developer camp in 2012 we had another guestspeaker, the main technical lead for the farcry CO-OP game. She was picked out to head the technical aspect because of her work with DICE on what I think was Bad Company 2. She talked alot about the problems she face when talking to the higher ups in ubisoft because of her gender. She even said her 2nd in command was more respected by the heads because he was a male.
    But that aside, she requested that we not film her presentation because she simply could not promise herself that she not break any NDA she had signed. But she talked about the struggles with creating the coop mode with non existing netcode and that pressure of ubisoft promising a original campaign, when she had her hands full just getting the main build of Farcry 3 to run in coop.
    So I think that Ubisoft thought that getting a coop system made and implanted into Dunia 2 was easier. Also that Dev team for the COOP campaign was located in sweden so their work and timeline had to follow Ubisoft Montreals, and getting updated builds was a bureaucratic nightmare.
    Well I hope she went on to have a nice career.

    I hate the trend of cutting out multiplayer systems (or, really, anything) in games. I liked XCOM 2's multiplayer before it was shut down... but only on Windows and only by removing the button in the menu. You can literally just select the beta branch in Steam, copy the menu files + exe, revert to the latest patch, paste them in, and play it.
