    GTA Online was/is peer to peer. Imagine a world where they chose to have dedicated lobby servers…

      When you say peer to peer, does this mean every player communicates with every other player, or does one person act as the “server”?

        I believe one person acts as the host. That’s why sometimes it’ll kick you out of a session and start loading again, that means the host has left and someone else needs to take over.
