Treknor@treknor Funny, we've been using it for over 8 years very successfully. Parks on the Air is built on AWS.
@w8tam that's not what I meant ... it is IMHO just a better idea not to work with AWS and to organise the whole thing on a grass root level.
it would be more cost effective, more independent, and a really community thing.
maybe a bit less convenient but that would be something that would much less important than the rest
beside all of this.... AWS is just an evil company
@treknor Supporting 88,000 users on a grass root level is a bit of a stretch.
@w8tam it is... but it is possible.
Blizzards Battle Net central "server " was once a single PC...
it is possible, just less convenient and the users have to learn how to use it.... but there is no real show stopper.
but I am just a European who despise big tech, so everything I have to say is obviously strange and alien.
I understand that.
@treknor If we charged what Battle Net charges for access, we could do a lot of things. If you want to compare us to Battle Net, I hope you're donating an equivalent subscription.
