If I understood the article correctly it seems the shutdown started initially from malicious software being uploaded to the servers?

I didn’t read the article. Just made a crappy joke. If that’s true then that sucks for the creators.

That’s honestly a shame. There were some incredible levels people made.

It’s sad that data migration and storage is more and more out of players’ hands. There wasn’t even a notice period for LBP…

How is it more out of players hands than before? If anything, it is more in players control nowadays because of custom LBP servers. Also, the games are ooold, kinda to be expected that the official servers are gone someday, especially when seeing the attacks that killed the ps3 servers some years ago
