Private Servers for Online Achievements

    Is using a private server when a game’s servers have been shut down for good considered cheating by TSA? I’m talking about in instances where the achievement was otherwise earned legitimately (ie for “get 50 kills,” the person got 50 kills on the private server).

    Part of why I’m moving toward PC gaming is the prospect of playing some older games whose servers went down years ago online by using private servers.

    Edit to add: sorry if wrong forum. Just seemed like the best place for the question, even though I’m not under investigation.

    Private servers are fine. We may ask for a link to the setup guide, Nexus Mods page, Github, etc. during an investigation to verify a private server can be brought online. So please keep that in mind.

    I haven’t done this yet (at least with games that are tracked here), but I’ve been thinking about cracking into Assassin’s Creed and Arkham series. As I understand it, these are only possible to 100% some games with private servers.

    Thanks for the response!
