It is reported that on Nov. 21 local time in China, a studio running illegal private servers in China's Sichuang Province was closed down by the government. The studio is claimed to have reaped net profits of RMB 5 million (approx. US$ 792,500) in the last four and half years. 21 people of this studio were sentenced 3 years of imprisonment for severely hindering the running of official servers of The World of Legend.

I dont understand. Why some ppl play private servers? Are they losers in games, so they turn to private servers?
