Please Save The Unreal Series of FPS Games!
This is grave news, for on this day, December 14 (15 in some regions), 2022, Epic Games has made the completely shocking and inane announcement of delisting and ending online multiplayer support for the beloved multiplayer arena FPS duology Unreal Tournament 1999 and Unreal Tournament 2004 alongside their singleplayer-centered predecessor Unreal and its expansion pack Return to Na Pali on Steam and their Epic Games Store, with their GOG fates in an unclear state (as of this writing). In return, they will deem Unreal Tournament 3 X, which is a contested title in the series, as a free purchase onwards while promoting the arguably more popular yet extremely controversial Fortnite in the usual helpful manner, so to speak.
This may be a bit too demanding if not sounding pathetic, but to anyone reading this and are most likely affected by this shake-up however recently or not, *please save this veritable trilogy of quality singleplayer and multiplayer gaming from the hells of abandonware, loss of love and support from dedicated fans and makers, and, in the vein of fandoms, the feared overratedness of battle royales, unpolished AAA titles, and other such flawed gaming concepts!* It would truly mean a lot if they will be preserved from the meanness of time, age, and trending relevancy, for I and others can only do this since we don't have the capability for petitions, protests, and the like. Spread the word, people, for until then, we drift and hope...

Thinking about Unreal
Remember back when Epic Games did more than just work on Fortnite and make a shitty game launcher? I do.
Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 were games I was playing long before I had any right to. You can't legally acquire them anymore, unless buying a used copy from somebody. But we're in a time and place now, where a viable successor to Unreal ought to be coming around. The boomer shooter revival was awesome, and I hope there's still more of it to come.
And I'm not just talking about the tournament games, but the actual first game Unreal, deserves a successor.
*sigh*
03/04 veered into a weird aesthetic that hardly fits with its sequel or previous iteration, but I think it's my favorite. It's almost like the predecessor to Gears of War, a hint of 40k and other sci-fi concepts thrown together to create these awesome gladiators.

The Juggernauts were cool. They're all some kind of criminal, with the exception of Arclite. Genetically modified to be big, aggressive super soldiers. I think my favorite is Rylisa, based on her bio.
"Former Union Leader of Ore Miners' Local #732G, Rylisa found the bribes offered to her by an Imperial official to be an insult, so she cut off his hands and used his subdermal ID chips to access his accounts, netting her life in the Allerian Ice Mines."
I'd like to think she doesn't get along with the rest of her team much.
Headcanon is after the tournament, these guys were either "liquefied" or repurposed, the more stable trustworthy maybe becoming privateers for the Liandri Corporation.
