1. A multi-user computer-controlled video gaming system for performing a game among a plurality of users (P), the system comprising:
at least one display device (D) for displaying video game motion pictures to the plurality of users (P); a plurality of user input devices (GP), at least one for each user (P), providing user input data (IN) to the computer-controlled video gaming system as raw data; a processing unit (PU) receiving and processing the raw data of the user input data (IN) from the plurality of input devices (GP) to generate control input data (IN*) for a conjoint control of at least one game mechanic of the performed game; at least one computing device (WS) executing a game software application for performing said game, the at least one computing device (WS) being controlled by said control input data (IN*) for providing output (OUT) to the display device (D) to display the video game motion pictures dependent on said at least one conjointly controlled game mechanic; and a feedback data link (FB) between the at least one computing device (WS) and the processing unit (PU) configured to transfer feedback data corresponding to a change of requirements for control input data (IN*) from the at least one computing device (WS) back to the processing unit (PU).
