As long as the enemy player is remote, the enemy player position (and thus confirming a kill) will inevitably be delayed by the network latency (whether rendering is local or distant). That won't change. The only thing that will change

But that works for movies. When you go to the cinema, you pay, yet you get ads before the movie and sneaky product placements during the movie.

What you could be missing is that the goal of this license is not to protect this not-so-important piece of software but to give you (?) a sense of what institutional discrimination feels like. As a white heterosexual male, it does make me

I really don't get that logic. To me what you're saying is equivalent to saying that we should never discuss anything. Something's wrong with the society? If you don't like it, you can just move to a different country.
