Now, does that account for poor QoS? I have a very fast internet connection, (gigabit), but because I live in the arseend of nowhere, my QoS is crap. Typically >1000 ms ping on TF2 servers, for example.

Since you're not streaming, I imagine it could perform fairly well. What do you think?

Perhaps ideal if you serve linux users well . . .?

And don't be so jealous, you'd be surprised how a crap level of QoS impacts everything you do on the web. Most of the time it feels like I'm still on dialup . . . dialup that can download large files instantly, yes, but webpages literally take minutes to reload. (Roundtrip times means that a single page takes ~5s just to establish connection, then another few seconds to load everything, and then the scripts start loading . . . )

As long as you're robust about dropped packets and corrupted data, I can't see any of that being an issue if the ping won't be though.

The person who replied through the account is likely the social media inquiries dude and was joking about that opening :p

Send your CV in, man.

I'd have to travel for >3 weeks just to bring down the travel cost off this island to $50/day, so yeah, $50/day does seem a really good bargain.

So I'm primarily on linux these days. How much of your game library works on linux, or does your program work on linux at all?

Is that something you're looking into in the future? You mention quite a few times 'coming to all platforms'.
