But in all seriousness, not many countries would have the broadband infrastructure to support such a system. South-East Asia and some Eastern European nations definitely, but who else?

Lag in single player games? Sign me up!
also, given the requirements of modern games, wouldn't this basically mean they need one computer per every user playing at the same time? think of the costs and maintenance on your 100,000 PC cluster :eww:

No, no - thanks to super duper technology, the lag is
less than a milisecond!Jackablade on 24/3/2009 at 20:09
Call me optimistic but I think this is the first genuinely exciting development in games in a long time. Yeah, getting rid of lag and maintaining the infrastructure will be difficult but if they can do it I will sign on. I can play PC games again!

Unless my calculations are wrong light travels at approx 300km (just under 200 miles) per millisecond in the best of cases. A round trip would then limit the maximum theoretical distance between player and server of 150km.
(Unless they're doing something like firefreak says!)

The lag could probably go up to five or ten milliseconds and you wouldn't notice.
