   Just finished two games of multiplayer Battle for Wesnoth over the Internet with @solariiknight. This is the first time I have played a multiplayer game over the Internet. It feels so liberating that it is free software, and that you can run your own server instead of depending on some central server running proprietary software. !freegaming

      @arunisaac @solariiknight to be fair, even many proprietary games allow you to host your own server instance.

         @arunisaac @solariiknight but I agree with your point nevertheless. I just think we need an honest debate about trust.

            @arunisaac @solariiknight because we need to make sure both clients agree to the same rules somehow. Otherwise there are potential cheats

         Yes, some proprietary games do. I remember playing proprietary multiplayer games on the LAN.
