@Atlantor28 I’ll just leave this here.

Okay, I'm confused right now. What will make it more difficult? Forgive me for asking such a silly question.

We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

I was very concerned to see humanity in video games right now. Like, to win the game, everything is allowed including the illegal ways just only to feed their stupid desires because they were hungry for Winning the games even by dirty tricks.
Their arrogance and ignorance.... were soooo absurd and intolerable.

I know. But we need to learn to report them. Even if it doesn't make the problem go away for good, it will help make a clean community.

@Alantor28 using dedicated servers is inherently more secure against ddos than p2p connection is what the logic is.
On the flip side, that strength for dedicated means that if there were a large enough ddos, it would have a larger player base impact. But because of the nature of dedicated, there is more onus put on security and access restriction. It’s kinda like a combination of safety in numbers and centralized access.

Like a double-edge sword, right?

Everything is a double-edged sword if you really think about it.

I've got suspicions that the P2P vs Dedicated Servers debate is similar to the bit wars of the 90s. Most people have no real idea what it means but still use them as fuel for their arguments.

Also, dedicated servers are very expensive to maintain. It can be at least $100,000 a year for a dedicated server that can handle 10,000 players. Can you imagine just how much it would cost to run dedicated servers for all of Nintendo's online games, with some such as Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Smash having thousands of daily players? $20 a year per player likely isn't nearly enough to cover that.

Yikes! Dedicated servers are that expensive?! Hate to see the bills for that...

What computer game channels can you get

Rocket league uses its own dedicated servers and charges us no subscription but you need a NSO to play it online. It works great and have not had any problems. Lots of free to play and mobile games use servers

Hmm, true. But I'm more worried about how a company will pay $100K a year to keep dedicated servers up and running. What if the company has a low amount of money due to poor sales in a what if scenario and without the amount of money they need to keep the dedicated servers up and running, how are they gonna keep it running if they can't afford it?

@Ninfan Like I said before, you are out of luck when it comes to actual channels. IGN has podcasts sometimes, but I would recommend watching SpawnWave on YouTube to get the most recent gaming news.

No magazines, no tv chanels, no great games. This is not very good.although GINX ISN'T BAD

@Ninfan Ginx is only eSports, one of the least entertaining parts of gaming, imo.

To those in America, do y’all remember G4?

@Alantor28 that’s the unspoken downside of dedicated, too. Once the servers go down, there’s no supported replacement.

I don't think I understand what you're asking.

@ReaderRagfihs He’s asking for suggestions on tv/online channels that cover gaming, even though he’s actually not open to suggestions, as evident from him ignoring my recommendations.

Somehow there was another piece of lasaga in the fridge somehow despite it being GONE for about a week, and on a Monday of all days of the week!!!.......SOMEHOW!

I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!

I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!
