We haven't touched into segregation yet.

You get sold a game that has campaign and multiplayer.

Under the guise of appealing to both crowds, you can choose to buy what you want to play, campaign, multiplayer, or both.

Actually if sold at a reasonable price that's not a bad idea and it's something I've talked about occasionally. Say a $20-$40 split. That way people who only want part of the game don't have to pay a full $60 for a chunk of the game they don't want.

Which is, of course why I primarily said it.

The gaming industry takes anything of remote quality and potential decent-ness.

And promptly runs it through the trash compactor before using the corpse of an idea that's spit out.

Largest entertainment industry in the world and still booming. It's only going to get worse the bigger it gets. Money to be made. Which is fine by me really.
Hole up with my backlog of niche weeb games, have a pint, and wait for this to all blow over.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
multiplayer and campaign will soon be sold separately.

I do actually own my games, they're just in digital format.
I don't want to take up vast amounts of space with my video games.

You own a digital license to play the game.

There's nothing wrong with physical games.

Is that bugged? Having a 0ms ping is pretty much impossible.
I'm on fibre, I'm less than 50 miles from the server.
Photons travel at the speed of light.
It's not exactly 0, it's just somewhere below 1, but above 0ms.
I can do the maths later on if you're really interested.

Why hello there! I'm DiamondSentinel, and I'm a rare breed here on the internet! Yes, I'm a Christian, and a devout one at that! If you want to talk about that sort of stuff, I'm always up for it! Just keep it civil. ^_^
This topic is laughable. It's like asking who will be candidates in the 2032 election...

No, I understand the math. Just rather confused by how the rounding here works, as even on professional gaming LAN events using fibre with two people sitting right next to each other, they still generally get a ping of 1-2.
It's under 0.4, so it's being rounded down.
This is my home to a server in London, so it's not exactly a professional LAN event.
Even in the case of a LAN event, they're just rounding up instead of showing the actual figure.

Even in the case of a LAN event, they're just rounding up instead of showing the actual figure.
Of course, I'm just surprised how two people linked with fibre in the same room ends up as 2-3 ms ping for events like Quakecon and CS:GO tournaments, while you're at <0.4 at 50 miles away. Doesn't seem to make much sense that you're getting better response times than they are, unless speedtest calculates / displays its ping differently than most games do.
They don't use expensive fibre cables like you'd find in an underground line for the LAN events, so there's more resistance.
And there's more ping in a game server than there is from just a one-off connection because you have to account for all the other players.
Servers I get 10ms ping on with just me and maybe another player can jump up to around 50ms ping when full.
