I edited it for clarity and don't really see how the changes were material to your response.

Regardless, if you want to engage in some kind of rational discourse, I'm perfectly willing. My assertion is that your product, based on the scant information I've seen about it has a very limited scope in which it might improve packet loss and latency for gamers.

I hypothesize that most packet loss and latency issues for gamers arise from poor wireless networking. Those aside, the very serious gamers are going to be using wired connections. If they experience packet loss and latency, there are a few other possible culprits. Namely, the shit hardware most folks are forced to use by companies like Arris. Beyond that, there are last mile physical plant issues, and beyond that, edge routing devices which are typically woefully over-provisioned. There is no "private network arbitrage" service that's going to aid in those issues which I suspect comprise something north of 99% of all latency and packet loss related issues that gamers experience.

So, yeah, make some empty promises, extort some game developers and enjoy the same fate that many, many other similar companies before you enjoyed. See: all the BGP optimization companies that came and went in the 2000-2010 timeframe.



I can tell that you really just want to argue, so I'm noping out of this thread. Have a nice day.
