Why Are Online Server Issues So Common This Gen?

I swear last-gen online was buttery smooth for the most part why the hell are so many online games just broken & unplayable at launch these days? why is that so common?

Last gen wasn’t buttery smooth Guess you never played GOW 2 or the BLOPS1

Buttery smooth?!

Hell naw, the fighting game community will tell you that

Matter of fact I would go on to say PSN was fukking awful last gen. COD, capcom fighters, and Skyrim were all broken at launch

Online Server issues have been around for hella long. even back in the Dreamcast days.

Its just more noticable now since more people are able to hop online compared to back then

I'm assuming you was on Xbox live last gen and now you're on psn

 

[Liquid]

Was playing Splatoon on wii U and I swear one time the entire match finished before I even noticed. So basically what happened is at one point during the battle everything just started to speed up and boom, it was over. shyt was ridiculous.

And Smash 4 for glory mode can be dirt horrid sometimes. Really hope it's better on Switch.

I assume this shyt mostly pisses off the more so competitive players.

You would think with having to pay for online multiplayer this gen it would be better.
