OCTOBER 1, 2026 ANNOUNCEMENT:

HEY EVERYONE, THIS IS TATER, THE CREATOR OF PVEGAMING. I MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT IN OUR DISCORD ON OCTOBER 1ST THAT AS OF MIDNIGHT ON DECEMBER 31ST, 2026, PVEGAMING WILL NO LONGER BE IN OPERATION. IT’S ALL BEING SHUT DOWN.

THIS WAS AN UNBELIEVABLY TOUGH DECISION TO MAKE AFTER HAVING BEEN IN THE SERVER HOSTING SPACE FOR WELL OVER 20 YEARS. 13 OF THOSE YEARS HAVE BEEN PVEGAMING WITH MANY YEARS BEFORE THAT HOSTING RANDOM GAME SERVERS.

IT HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE FOR A VERY LONG TIME BUT PVEGAMING HAS NEVER GROWN IN THE WAY I HAD HOPED IT WOULD. I TAKE ON THE BULK OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS BECAUSE IT’S HARD TO DO THIS ON A PART-TIME BASIS AND HAVE A FAMILY, WHILE STILL HAVING THE TIME TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY TRULY AMAZING. AMAZING ENOUGH WHERE PEOPLE WOULD WANT TO DONATE AND/OR SUBSCRIBE TO BE A PART OF, SO THAT THE COMMUNITY COULD SUSTAIN ITSELF. THERE WERE ALL OF THE MONTHLY EXPENSES TO PAY AS WELL AS THE HOPES THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH LEFT OVER, GIVING US THE ABILITY TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY WITH FREE SWAG GIVEAWAYS AND EVEN SOME PC HARDWARE GIVEAWAYS. THIS NEVER HAPPENED. BUT, THEN AGAIN, I NEVER AGGRESSIVELY PUSHED FOR IT. IN FACT, AT ONE TIME I EVEN ASKED PEOPLE TO STOP DONATING WHEN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WAS CRACKING DOWN ON SIDE HUSTLES MAKING OVER $600 PER YEAR. WITH THE TAX LAWS STILL CHANGING, EVEN TODAY, I WOULD HAVE HAD TO START AN LLC AND TREAT THIS LIKE A BUSINESS, BUT WITH THE COMMUNITY BRINGING IN $50 AVERAGE TO $100 PEAK REVENUE PER MONTH DURING THE BEST TIMES, IT JUST WASN’T ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT TROUBLE TO MAINTAIN. CERTAINLY NOT ENOUGH TO EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING GIVEAWAYS OR DOING THIS FULL TIME. MEANWHILE, I AM FRONTING THE MONEY FOR EVERYTHING YEAR AFTER YEAR AT AROUND $150 TO $200 PER MONTH. THAT ADDS UP. THAT DOESN’T INCLUDE THE HOURS UPON HOURS ME AND THE OTHER ADMINS WHO HAVE COME AND GONE OVER THE YEARS HAVE PUT INTO KEEPING THE SERVERS RUNNING.

BUT THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN REVENUE.

AS I AM NOW PUSHING 57 YEARS OLD, I AM EMBRACING THIS TIME TO MOVE ON TO OTHER THINGS THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO SINCE THIS COMMUNITY TOOK PRACTICALLY ALL OF THE SMALL AMOUNT OF FREE TIME I HAD.

WILL I STILL RUN SERVERS? I DON’T REALLY KNOW YET. IT’S A PART OF ME SO WHO KNOWS.

WHEN ALL THIS SHUTS DOWN, THE COMMUNITY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SALE, JUST IN CASE ANYONE WANTS TO KEEP IT GOING. THE PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL ASSETS I HAVE IN THIS DO HAVE VALUE TO THEM SO IT WILL TAKE A SMALL INVESTMENT TO ACQUIRE IT. ALL OF THE GAME SERVER INSTALLS ARE INCLUDED. THE DISCORD WITH 2K MEMBERS (BUT DROPPING), THIS WEBSITE, THE VERY VALUABLE .COM DOMAIN, AND THE 3 ENTERPRISE SERVERS WITH RACK, SWITCH, KVM & RACK KEYBORD/MONITOR. IT’LL BE “TURN-KEY”. CONNECT IT TO Y0UR INTERNET, FIRE THEM UP, SETUP YOUR ROUTER FOR THE PORT FORWARDING AND YOU’RE RUNNING. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN THIS, LET ME KNOW. I WILL ONLY DISCUSS THE ACTUAL INVESTMENT AMOUNT WITH THOSE WHO ARE SERIOUS ENOUGH TO INVEST INTO THE 4 FIGURE SELLING PRICE. I HAVE A FULL DOCUMENTED ASSESSMENT CREATED THAT WILL DETAIL WHAT’S INCLUDED AND THEIR VALUES. IF THIS DOES NOT SELL WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUT OF TIME INTO 2027, I WILL BEGIN TO PIECE IT ALL OUT.

TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE INVESTED MANY HOURS, MONTHS AND YEARS OF THEIR TIME INTO KEEPING THE SERVERS AND THE COMMUNITY RUNNING, THANK YOU!
