I made my own simple multiplayer 2d game to understand this stuff and just want to let you know that your site was invaluable to understanding client side prediction and server side reconciliation! Thanks so much for that!
Yeah, I don't understand this. I read the FTC complaint and it hinged on the issue of collecting the data w/o explicit user consent, ie a pop up or message. Wouldn't nearly all internet companies fall in to this bucket? Ie, log aggregators, analytics SDKs etc?
