SFS2X as dedicated server
Posted: 28 Apr 2021, 12:29
Hello,
I've not found any post on the subject, and the EULA does not seem to forbid that but, is it acceptable to distribute a "self hosted dedicated server" option for a game on Steam if it's based on the SFS2X CE ?
I mean, is it allowed to let the players download the SFS2X community edition either from Steamworks or official Smartfox website and run the custom server extension for a game ?
This way, a game based on SFS could let players connect to official "closed" servers running a non-CE edition, but also allow players to host their own server to play with friends.
In advance sorry if that's already been answered or written explicitly in the EULA
