Yes, I included gaming as the original argument was "My guess is physical LAN ports and yellow Ethernet cables will seem as quaint as floppy drives before long." where nothing was said about the use of said LAN, and the counter arguments were all about bandwidth and I wanted to include latency for it is probably the main factor why wired will exist longer
