Comment on The Forgotten Art of the LAN Party (2023)

Comments

Studios have "forgotten" even more than players. My friends and I regularly have Age of Empires 2 LAN parties, and you can't even connect to each other without an internet connection and steam or Xbox account.

It feels a bit dystopian considering that 25 years ago the very same game let me pop the CD out and put it in another computer to set up a LAN.
