Can you really play games using IPv6? You would need all the other players in the same party to use IPv6. That would severely limit who you can play with in the UK.

I think some games will connect peer-to-peer by default, and fall back to relaying via a central server in the case of NAT (particularly CGNAT or double-NAT cases that can't be bypassed by the usual techniques). So NATed players can still play, but players on IPv6 or directly internet-connected IPv4 get the best experience.
