DESCRIPTION:Dedicated servers are widely considered the gold standard for m
 ultiplayer games\, and titles that use them dominate the Steam charts. Com
 petitive shooters swear by them\, sometimes running just 16 players per ba
 re-metal machine\, incurring huge hosting costs\, and still requiring clie
 nt-side anti-cheat.\n\nDeveloping and orchestrating dedicated servers is e
 normously time-consuming\, yet the resulting multiplayer quality is often 
 lackluster. So should you blindly follow the footsteps of others\, or coul
 d there be a better model for your game?\n\nThis talk explores:\n- The sin
 gle most important concept for any multiplayer game: time synchronization\
 n- How to build a cheat-proof shooter without a dedicated server\n- How to
  build a physics-based game without a central authoritative physics simula
 tion\n- How to match the exact gameplay quality of a dedicated server with
 out running one
