Is that a real problem? People have been gaming like that for about 20 years...


of course it is, 20 years ago if you had internet, you most definitely were not behind NAT. now, you most likely are. upnp is a prothesis that should die ASAP.


Even though I agree that UPnP is a solution for a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place, I wonder how secure that kind of P2P communication will be. I guess people will still need/want residential firewalls and automatic ways to bypass them.
