Greetings.
Because there are lightweight implementations of IRC servers, there are
various of video games that utilize IRC as a mean to converse.
I do think, that a basic, and modular, XMPP server would be an
interesting choice to various of video games, from action games to
simulators, including FreeSO.
This, of course, would expand the user-base of XMPP, and would allow to
anyone to participate in discussions with people who are playing a
game, without the need to have that game installed.
A father plays a video game with his sons at his house, then he goes
with his daughter to a piano lesson; the father can still communicate
with his kids, whereas the kids would be able to continue to
communicate directly via the video game while playing it.
What do you think?
Kind regards,
Schimon
