Timing...

How do you expect them to benefit from timing (assuming that's what is meant by the cryptic comment)?

The major problems faced in doing what they propose are fundamental issues with computer networking and real-world limitations in the latency of sending lots of state across the wires.

And the internet infrastructurally (in the US anyway) isn't significantly better today than it was in years past. Arguably it has gotten worse in a lot of ways when it comes to latency, particularly on the last hop to the user/player over consumer ISPs.

They might not benefit from it but if we agree things will be moving that way (I personally believe it will) then it's a matter of timing.
