That actually seems like a really cool application for it.
My first thought, rather cynical, was “I kinda hope this doesn’t just become a way to serve a mirror of stolen games at scale.” That would be sad.
But also I’m sure the bandwidth that’d take would be quite prohibitive anyway.
Serving LAN / multiplayer games to friends and family, with the right patches and stuff applied, sounds excellent.
UT2k4, War/StarCraft, Mobile Forces, Metal Fatigue, Warsow, Battlefield, Nerf Arena Blast…
Could even do some real vintage stuff like Rainbow Six or Deus Ex’s multiplayer mode LOL.
I tried to think of niche things you probably wouldn’t find on GameRanger haha. (Geeze I haven’t used that in ages…wonder if it’s Linux friendly?)
This is a big reason I only remotely access my services via TailScale / Wireguard.
Even if my highly restricted ISP let me open anything, I wouldn’t dare. I know for certain I don’t know as much as who/whatever is hunting for open ports out there. I have zero interest in instantly being assimilated into some botnet lol.
