  • There are things called routers that…route traffic. A dumbed down version is routers talk to other routers to find out what they know about.

    If a game server you connect to matches you with someone in Japan, your computer sends a packet with the address in Japan attached to it. Your home router probably has no clue where that is, so it goes to its upstream router and asks if they know, this process repeats until one figures it out and you get a route.

    This all happens very quickly, and it’s why people say the Internet routes around damage.

    The multi-billionaire owner with the backing of the Chinese government is claiming that he’s the underdog against a popular company/piece of software/GabeN. He’s made some poor choices interacting with the community.

    Yes, it’s probably nice for a publisher to have a guaranteed income, which is why they sell exclusivity. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, so I choose not to support it.

    The rest about the launcher being bad sounds unhinged to me, but some people are really into that.

    They bought Rocket League and actively made it worse.
