Are conservatives allowed to use it? Or are you just going to let the Chinese military play?

20GB of data usage an hour?! DOA for anyone with data caps. Not impressed.

@0x0000000x 20GB / hr is not an issue for most developed countries with adequate fibre optic infrastructure.

@oimeit It is an issue in places (like the US) where we often have ISPs with low data caps and zero competition. Sure I have the bandwidth, but 5 hours = 1/5 or 1/10 of my *monthly* data allowance? Yeah no thanks Admittedly, maybe it's not a product where I'm a use case- and I'm looking at it from a too self-centric point of view, but there are many others in the same situation, which is why I bring it up Also, producthunt should really fix their line wrapping, it's breaking my words in half. Ugh.

@0x0000000x Imo it's messed up that low data caps are still a thing in the US. Also, any data capped connection is probably going to suffer from high latency, low bandwidth and dropped packets, meaning it's not suitable for cloud gaming anyway.

@oimeit I suppose. Mine happens to be a weird mix of good internet but annoying cap. I get 150mbps, low ping, rarely drop packets, but capped at 1TB/month Though, I did find out my ISP offers "unlimited" for an extra $30/month so I guess that could always be an option (for me specifically). For others that don't have that option, they would be screwed. It strongly depends on the market and the available options. Some places in the US would have no problem, others would.

Bring it to Africa. We play games too you know and this will certainly be an amazing way to game

@klein_osim_asu Can't see the ping speeds being good enough in most of Africa... this kind of service absolutely needs fast internet/super-low ping speeds.

@klein_osim_asu @colinmcdermott Not only US and Europe have access to good Internet, I'm from Brazil and I have a 150mbps fiber installed in my home. It's more of a market strategy decision.

@colinmcdermott @douglasschmidt Yeah, to attempt to draw fiber cable to where I live would cost tens of millions of Naira(Nigerian currency) so I have to deal with our crappy internet, well I guess it back to the PC building drawing board.
