Are you implying that after 4 1/2 yrs. of running a totally free multiplayer lobby and 5 or so "Papy" servers, that they are "screwing us over" by shutting down support and said servers? Is THAT your complaint?

You're the one who posted, "end of the sim world". WTF is your issue? Am I supposed to be happy that Sierra killed Papy and if you happen to buy a copy of NR2003 you can forget about ever playing it MP?

1. the title of the post is sarcasm. Did you REALLY think that Sierra ceasing support of a bunch of old games they don't sell was beginning of (sim) armageddon? 2. I ran in an online race tonight and never used the Sierra lobby or server. How can that be since I "can forget about ever playing MP"? Guess what? I'll run in another race tomorrow or the next day or next week and still will not need Sierra's mp capabilities. 3. The point of the original post was simply pointing out something that I didn't see posted here at RAS. Nothing more, hence the lone hyperlink to the "news".

Then don't use hyperbole in your subject headers. And yea, I still think it is a crime that they killed off Papyrus.
