  • There’s a lot going on behind the scenes at every step of the MMO game journey. When a player connects to a MMO game, it is hosted in one or more cloud data centers. These data centers can be located around the world and normally the player will, unbeknownst to him/her, access the closest data center instance of their MMO game to improve performance and help achieve the lowest ping (fastest response time). Western Digital Blog
  • In this way, Fortnite feels like a more realized version of Bungie’s Destiny, a game that ambitiously tried and never quite succeeded at blending the best of shooter and MMO game design. The Verge
