Starting in February 2024, AWS (the hosting service used for netplay) is raising their prices[1]. Running the 4 existing netplay servers currently costs about $15 USD a month. This new price increase will basically double the cost.
I am left with 2 choices if I don't receive more funding:
-
Remove 2 of the netplay servers (there are currently 4: US West, US East, Paris, and Brazil).
-
Remove IPv4 support (IPv6 only), which will make the service unavailable for some users.
