> internet latency seems to be just barely sufficient

What? I played Quake 1-3, TFC over 56k with 300ms latency, on a CPU at least 20x slower than modern CPUs. Tribes 2 with 63 other players. Arguably more fun than the prescriptive matchmaking in games these days.

Games are a product of their environment. You don't let a pesky think like lag stop people having fun.
