NCSOFT has officially granted Homecoming a license to host City of Heroes
NCSoft has granted the 'Private' homecoming server City of Heroes devs a license to host the game legally.
That means the community servers running on leaked code are now the de-facto official servers, doesn't it ?
Has such a thing ever happened before ? Usually these servers are at best ignored, and at worst being threatened or sued into shutting down.
That's amazing.
I'm not too familiar with the City of Heroes Community, so I don't know how good a deal this is, but it is nice to see a fan effort to keep a game alive not get summarily shut down by the rights holder.
