Re: [Trisquel-users] Are multiplayer games SaaSS?

Any joint activity depends on software on someone else's machine. Here, I was  
only talking about the difference between centralized communication vs.  
distributed communication. Distributed communication would be things like  
P2P. The entire WWW works in a centralized manner: a server has all the data,  
you send a request to it, and it sends you the data. On the other hand,  
BitTorrent is distributed; you have the data sent to you by several parties,  
and send the data yourself in the meantime.

The server/client model is the centralized way to do multiplayer games. Point  
is, if you reject this, you would have to reject other centralized  
communication, like the entirety of the WWW, to be consistent.
