We're all ready preparing to make an attempt at doing something about the netcode. I don't know how successful it will be, but I have some good ideas and I think at the very least? We'll be heard. Whether that will make a difference? Whose to say but I'm fairly confident the people who need to hear the complaints of the community will. There will be a front page post about it soon for everyone whose curious as to what I'm talking about.
Hahah, actually I was trying to argue against you too. I think the possibility exists that rollback netcode could be tacked onto KOF13. Or at least they could have made the decision to go with rollback way back when we were begging for it for KOF12. And we certainly shouldnt stop asking for it.
But its not as trivial as some people think it is, and SNK might have valid reasons for not being able to do it.
I guess my wording confused you! I actually agreed with everything you said and it was what I was trying to say

When I was saying that it'd be "impossible" I didn't mean technically it couldn't be DONE so much as there are too many financial and political limitations. The technical aspect would probably be difficult to deal with but could be done with proper funding and so long as say, a five year contract isn't in place lol. If GSS is tied to a service in Japan, ontop of them being an outside company? Then it's very likely the contract has stipulations like "X number of games must use GSS" or "X number of KoF titles" etc etc. Contracts in the business world very rarely can be broken, and SNKPlaymore doesn't have the money to break said contracts since it would result in lawsuits

. They're a private company so they don't have the stock market or share holders really. As far as demanding to know the details of the netcode? That's a stretch I'm afraid. Asking to know doesn't really fix much. Sure it gives us a better idea as to how it works but I'd be more inclined to recommend someone ask GSS directly as SNKP spilling such secrets could violate their contract. No way to really KNOW for sure but I think the better approach for now is to just let Atlus, Rising Star, and SNKPlaymore know how much we dislike said netcode. Us guys in the DC staff are working on that! So hang tight guys until we get to that point.
