If there's a specific host/server that everyone in that game has to connect to, it isn't "P2P".

- xboxnolifes 2y agoPedantically, maybe. But the host of the match lobby was randomly selected and it could have been any of the peers who end up as the host. When the host leaves, one of the remaining peers becomes the new host. So, all peers have the capability of being client and/or server. That sounds like p2p to me.
- BlueTemplar 2y agoAh, I didn't know something like this existed, I thought you were talking about player-hosted lobbies.
- tiagod 2y agoYou connect directly to one of the players in the lobby, also known as a peer. It isn't a dedicated game server, just the game itself. I think it qualifies very well as P2P.
