My issue with IPv6 is online gaming doesn’t seem to support it at all. Valorant and similar online competitive games are IPv4 only; despite IPv6 having considering upsides for real time games. I think you could get real uptake from gamers if it was supported (due to possible latency benefits, even if they’re only small)

- girvo 3y agoYeah they’re the only one sadly. Riot doesn’t, Sony doesn’t, among others. I’m hopeful they do eventually follow suit
- jacooper 3y agoWell it's not an issue with IPv6 specifically, rather with companies not deploying it.
