I'm annoyed that gaming is defined solely as multi-player FPS twitch games. Astronauts / colonists into chess, go, poker, real role playing games, pretty much anything that happens in a casino, single player of any sort, wouldn't really notice.

Also once this is a real problem, hopefully there'll be enough people up there to fill up their own Battlefield servers with just moon players.

Besides, the speeds mentioned here would be more than enough for multi-player twitch FPS too.

A game like an FPS doesn't need much speed (they can work with modem-level bitrate). They instead depend on having low latency, or ping time. Since the moon is so far away, it takes a signal 1.3 seconds to travel to or from it.

One speed interferes with multi-player twitch FPS here, and it's not the bandwidth - it's the speed of light. Try playing an FPS with 2+ seconds of lag and it'll be very, very unpleasant.
