So this is basically a fancy game-specific VPN isn't it? How is it different from Steam Networking which lets players connect to their closest endpoint and routes traffic through Valve's backbone? The only way this service could offer any benefit over Valve's is if you can run edge processing right at the gateway for a Matrix.org-esq protocol for a distributed-authority netcode so that the gameclient's physics/hit-prediction length is only the latency to its gateway rather than all the way to the central authoritative server. But then this would need gamedevs to actually know what they're doing regarding how to re-architect netcode, which, given the quality of Riot's Valorant supposedly being the shining beacon of engineering among gamedevs, is not a very auspicious prospect.
