Restoring closed PUBG Lite?

Question

Game development

There is such a game, maybe someone knows - PUBG Lite is called. The developers of this game for no reason gave up on this game and stopped updating it, just like that, no one knows why. The game worked without updates for a whole year, cheaters ran into it and it became difficult to play. But that's not the point.

On March 30, on the website of this game, the developers wrote that the project was finally closed, and they would turn off the servers until April 29. Many (like me) fell in love with this game, for the fact that the game pulls even on the weakest PCs, for the shooting mechanics, etc. We found many friends there, good partners. Many simply will not have something to play, because there are no similar games, and this one has already become very boring =(

So I wanted to ask if it is possible to rewrite the game client so that it connects to my server(s) and works the same way? The game is not particularly protected, as I understand it, unlike the Steam (big) pubg.

• Will it be possible to do so?
• How difficult will it be?
• What will be needed for this?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible .
The easiest way is to buy a project. He remained, albeit closed. It remains to contact the developers and discuss what price suits them. Both actions: contact and discuss - are quite possible. Of course, money will be needed. Who said it would be easy? It's about what's possible.
It may even turn out, if you do not agree on a price, that it will be even cheaper to rewrite both the server and the client from scratch. It will not be very difficult to pick out your favorite textures and models from an unprotected client. But this development also costs money. It will take too long to do everything alone. Who said it would be easy? It's about what's possible.

Answer 2

You do not implement the server yourself. You can forget about this stupid idea
