  That and the US being such a large market while having some of the worst internet in the developed world. Last I read only ¼ of the network is fiber

    tbf: The US is huge as fuck. Most countries in the developed world could fit in Texas.

    I live in France, has fantastic fibre, would still hate to play civilisation “in the cloud”.

    There is just no incentive to do so IMO. Even a cheap mobile phone can render well enough, and I just hate any kind of even “possible” lag.

    I play games over 4G happily. Not likely to work very well with game streaming.

  I completed Nier Automata via GeForce Now just fine. Competitive shooters maybe not, but that’s just a subset of gaming anyway.

  It’s so stupid. It’s a solution looking for a problem.

    As with anything these techbro oligarchs comes up with. Unfortunately they do have the power to bend reality to their twisted wills.

      Wanna bring about the next French Revolution, worldwide? Cause that seems like a good way to do it!

  Would be cool to play civ5 on a long term server.

  I’m thinking something that emails you when its your turn too. Like playing chess over mail.

    Isn’t that a thing in freeciv, that open source version of civilization?

    • BryyM@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      There is a freeciv? How did i not know this

      • Famko@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        Yeah, there’s a web version of the game if you want to try it out, though it seems to be based on civilization 2 or 3 rather than 5 or 6.

    Civ over mail. Physical mail. Like those old mail chess games in the times before online chess (use lichess.org btw <3 ).

    Move a scout, wait 3-5 days for the answer.
