Will a 1.2 server executable be available at launch?

I can't speak for the writing or reading, but I've found ways in my life to find space for both video gaming and exercising.

It won't necessarily work for everyone's space, but I actually do most of my gaming from an exercise bike. That's obviously easier when playing games with a controller, but I also have a tray table that will extend over my bike to give me a surface for a keyboard and mouse.

How much I pedal while playing will vary from game to game, but the option is there. For enough games, my legs are just going the whole time on autopilot.

Alternately, there are games out there which are exercise themselves (Dance Dance Revolution or Beat Saber, for instance), but those also require extra hardware. But there are also mobile games that can be a good excuse for exercise. Pokemon Go was able to get me walking/running outside more than before. I haven't really used it myself, but Zombies Run sounds pretty popular and will gamify running sessions.

And if none of the above work, if you can manage it, you can try video games as the reward for working out. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, no video games until you've done a half hour of exercise. If that's a bit much, maybe just start with one day a week and work your way up from there.
