[AusNOG] "However, for the best possible experience, we recommend enabling IPv6 on your network."

[Christopher Hawker]

I’m not surprised that game devs like Ubisoft aren’t supporting IPv6. Consoles using v6 aren’t any good if the game companies don’t offer servers with v6 connectivity...

However, there is an interesting article on the APNIC Blog about why Tom Perrine (working for a global game company) killed their IPv6 project.

“IPv6, for its own sake, offered no value to the business at all.”

Microsoft jumped in quite big around 5 years ago, here's a Nanog presentation on what they did.

Back in 2016 Tore Anderson discovered the PlayStation doing some IPv6, although at the time it almost seemed to be about measuring how much IPv6 was out there.
