Dead Island 2 brings the fan-favourite series back from the dead, ditching the island locale in favour of Los Angeles, allowing players to explore the big city during a zombie apocalypse.

SPOILER WARNING FOR LATER IN THE GAME
To fix the Skope server error in Dead Island 2, you'll need to reach a later quest called 'The Search For Truth', where you will end up turning the Skopes back on by resetting the servers in the Ocean Avenue store. This will allow you to interact with the Skopes and speak to them.
They don't serve any further purpose beyond this, though, with your character saying the Skope AI's name whenever you look at one and press the button prompt.
