LittleBigPlanet Moderation Purge UPDATE | The LBP3 Purge is Over! (For Now)

[@Kostraproductions]

Yikes. despite not really playing the game much anymore, I really just hope that when they do pull the plug on LBP, they pull a mario maker, and still keep the community levels up, I don't know if that is realistic, (or even possible,) but dang. losing over ten million stages of work and passion would suck.

[@krash2]

Let's be real, the servers are extremely fragile, theyre running on chop sticks and glue, if they give this game a stronger developer, i will bet you my whole life modders and hackers won't touch CRAP

[@WackoMcGoose]

It's a "tower of duct tape" problem, just like how Source 2 still has code dating back to the freakin' Quake game engine. The LBP1/2 servers were made in a time before "security for console game multiplayer servers" was actually taken seriously, and due to inherited code debt and a duty of backwards compatibility for old levels, LBP3 has most of the same issues. Unfortunately, the only real fix would be for LBP4 (if there ever _might_ be a 4th game) to just from-scratch literally everything, no backward compat (not that the old servers and levels will exist for much longer at this rate), a security-first mindset, and - ideally - to be built by Media Molecule themselves rather than farmed out to other studios.

[@krash2]

@@WackoMcGoose yeah I'm like it's either Mm wake up and do something with LBP since they ended their live service for Dreams, or this issue continues to happen because I'm really not trusting sumo with LBP anymore. Idc about old levels I just want a game that's active and playable like LBP2

This is honestly sad, as someone who hasn't played lbp 3 in 6 years, this is sad to me because it was my childhood game. The only ps4 game I've ever played (besides megaman legacy collection) but honestly, i really agree with you here man. 😭

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

Lbp 1 and 2 were my childhood and we went through the same thing, servers got shut down by hackers and the millions of community levels got deleted, so much passion and hard work deleted

[@bestestbread]

As someone who literally played lbp yesterday, this game means so much to me. I can confidently say that it’s one of my favorite games of all time. While I completely understand the lack of support for the game, (as it’s old and held together by duct tape and Elmer’s glue) I can’t help but feel sad about the state its been left in and the inevitable shutdown of the servers. Guess I’d better enjoy it while it lasts.

[@rihasanatrofolo2472]

I hope they don't close it because of technical complexity.LBP3 literally does not have a dev team backing it right now, so whomever does patches for it is either outsourced or some people internally taken out of their normal tasks to look at this. Either way, it's expensive and tedious for a game that is getting old. Clowns killed the ps3 servers and I'm super spooked they might just kill the ps4 ones too. Please no..

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

They need to give it back to the rightful owners (media molecule) and accept that they suck as a company

[@rihasanatrofolo2472]

@@ChickenJoe-tq6xd Sadly, most of the original creators of LBP quit Mm after Dreams failed. So Mm today isn’t really Mm. I don’t think it was a taken kindly that Sony cut support so early after they promised 10 years. But Dreams just didn’t have enough players.

[@Private-Joker_34]

If people continue these malicious activities, we will lose the LBP3 server. Let’s hope they actually bring it back.

[@LAJIRAFA66_ALT]

At this point they'd just be better off making an lbp4 carrying everything over from the other games. I'm convinced this will keep repeating until Sony finally steps in and just forces Sumo Digital to pull the plug. It still annoys me that they completely acknowledge the community's want for a Littlebigplanet 4 and then just go completely radio silent as if a Littlebigplanet 4 couldn't be one of ps5's best selling titles similar to the original lbp if they went through with making it.

[@Jazan708]

Wow I just re-downloaded it when I found it it’s down, amazing

[@WunderwaffePrime]

About the point you brought up at the end, it would probably cost more to legally pursue the people responsible for things like this than LBP3 makes. It’s probably cheaper, and better in terms of publicity for them to quietly fix the issue, as the LBP community is such a small one.

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

The lbp community was actually still decently big and then they shut down lbp1/2 and most of us left for good, all that remains are new players and stragglers

[@leandroperon2604]

I’m so scared to think this is the end…

[@3rr0rsanz38]

I really hope they bring it back and have a stronger develepor that actaully cares abt the lbp community

[@pizza-lord8032]

I feel, since we got that job listing like 2 years ago, we might get lbp 4, or sackboy big adventure. Really soon, and im thinking, if LBP 3's servers stay down, there more and likely making lbp 4, just due to 10 million levels down the drain, and all of that dlc they made for lbp 1 2 and 3, would just go to waste, it wouldn't make sense, and it took them 3 years to make lbp 3, and if they were starting development 2 years ago, we might get it this year or next. Also this game is basically asking for it for how many times servers go down. Which would rather them just making a new game and just stop worrying about LBP 3. So all i'm saying is, servers might be down for a while, but in a good way, we need to wait, and see if this brand new game will fill are needs and replace lbp 3 and bring all of those levels back.

Oh... I feel a little silly leaving a comment on the previous video, but this doesn't feel right... This is exactly what happened when the PS3 servers were shut down. Iirc, they shut them down to investigate what was going on, realised that it's just not worth putting more duct tape on the already botched source code, and they just let the games die. I don't see why this won't happen for LBP3 as well, it's a decade old game now and I really don't see what incentive Sony has to keep the last beacon of hope alive.
