The LittleBigPlanet series (especially LittleBigPlanet 3) offered a unique experience that allowed users to create their own episodes and share them with other players. These episodes will no longer be accessible following a shock decision by Sony.
LittleBigPlanet 3 servers shut down
With the shutdown of LittleBigPlanet 3’s servers, players will no longer be able to discover new content and bring communities together. The LittleBigPlanet series was unique in that it allowed players the freedom to create their own worlds. Now, however, this freedom seems to be limited.
LittleBigPlanet 3 is not a game that requires a server connection to play, there is still a story mode. But what made the game a game were the community maps and the ability to play with friends on those maps.
There has been criticism of Sony’s decision. Gamers think the company should have found a better solution. They think there could be alternative methods or backup systems to prevent servers from going down. The community is angry about the loss of content they’ve spent years creating.
LittleBigPlanet 3’s server shutdown could also trigger a wider debate in the gaming industry about the durability of online games. When game companies commit to long-term support for their games, gamers expect that service to continue.
The Crew, released on December 2, 2014, became completely unplayable after its servers were shut down. Moreover, Ubisoft removed the game from the libraries of players who owned the game with a scandalous move.
In short, such situations come across as a great disappointment on the players’ front. What do you think about the shutdown of LittleBigPlanet 3 servers? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
