the overlap in the Venn diagram for the number of people playing an 18 year old game targeted at old folk for the first time, who are also avidly reading a thread about a newly released game targeted at nostalgics, who are also on this forum, has to contain zero people. there are hundreds of games released every year, and anyone who hasn’t got a fond spot for the game series isn’t in this thread.

they’re all subject to reasonable use, already struggle massively in areas of high contention, have higher latency and (presumably) more packet loss: things you can compensate for with video streaming just by buffering.

they’ve not announced it for console; our working theory is that the Xbox One’s jaguar CPUs are too shit, but Scarlett’s Zen 2 processor might well be good enough.

Wrong thread.

And eventually ultimate becomes £160?/year. Though I’d have paid £40 for gold, and bought a couple of Microsoft games anyway.
