minus-squarePennomi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·9 days agoCloud gaming is effectively impossible due to little things like the speed of light. Sure, you could play Civilization via cloud but good fucking luck with competitive shooters.
minus-squareGolden@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 days agoThat 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

minus-squareValmond@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 days agoI live in France, has fantastic fibre, would still hate to play civilisation “in the cloud”.

minus-squareInternetCitizen2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoWould 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.
minus-squareFamko@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoIsn’t that a thing in freeciv, that open source version of civilization?
minus-squareBryyM@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoThere is a freeciv? How did i not know this
minus-squareFamko@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 days agoYeah, 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.
