I’m interested in something that games and front-ends can implement in order to play online and connect with friends, independent of the actual front-end in use.

This would allow gamers to connect without being reliant on companies’ stores.

Is there such a thing? Are there any discussions about creating one?

    I sometimes use VPN software like LogMeInHamachi or Tailscale to play Minecraft multiplayer with friends over the internet.

    Basically it makes your computers act as if they are on the same LAN. It should work for playing any game with LAN multiplayer support over the internet.
