I've already said this in Discord, and I am also going to say it here. Sadly most products have a 'life' and as far as Epic is concerned, UT99 has come to the end of its useful life for them - which does not mean, of course, that it has come to the end of its useful life for us - that is the key point, in my view anyway.

It feels like they want to erase history, a key milestone in online multiplayer. The problem is that, apart from that, the game is being delisted from online stores.
