Quake Champions is a very interesting game, however its held back by the lack of local servers and the ability to host your own. This is one of the first games to have fallen prey to the games as a service plague, which affects many PC games, if this game dropped in 2027, it would have to be tied to the Stop Killing Games law, which would make it a better game. However, if this game dies, its gone forever unless someone managed to reverse engineer it to make it live forever. The reason many people don’t play these games is because they don’t live forever, it is unappealing.
Quake Champions gets bigger
This is the 30th anniversary of the Quake series, and many agree that it might be one of the best arena shooters out there. In fact, it might be one of the few that still persists even today, despite it just being a live service game now. At the very least people can go and play the original entries and see what they missed, there’s a ton of things to experience in it. If you wanna give it a go, I feel like this new update for Quake Champions is big enough to give you reasons for it.
If you miss the nostalgic feeling of fragging your opponents in the arena, and dominating the lobby, I feel like this might be an experience you cannot miss out on. It is crazy to see the Quake series live for so long, 30 years is just 3 decades other series aren’t fortunate enough to see. I hope they can realize that the way to keep Quake alive is making more single player entries along with giving us the ability to host things before they go offline forever. Who knows, maybe Bethesda become good people and lets us host Quake Champions in the future.
