2. the intense amount of server side work rendering the output compared to just streaming positional data to a client, sure it's a fun idea thinking about 20 or so people connecting and getting real time renders but operating enough server power to render 50,000 connections? forget it, it's just not a cost effective method and that is what will always be at the root of any technological advances move from concept to production.

"I suppose so," said Alice.
"Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."
"I call it purring, not growling," said Alice.
"Call it what you like," said the Cat. |
