Dropping support for downloading assets ?
On this note, having proper support for broadcasting LAN games would go a long way towards making OpenRA playable at LAN parties (are these still a thing for modern kids?). We have a ticket for this at #8906, and somebody even did an implementation there that can be used as the basis of a final implementation.
Yes, LAN is still a thing although a niche. It professionalized and scaled up a bit. At least in Germany. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3cEXKU ... eutschland
