Latency is a non issue if you make the service even remotely decentralised. One server per EU country is enough to push the latency below 50ms, which is more than playable, even for shooters and MOBAs.
Still to much of you want to be decently competitive in a shooter.
50ms of latency in a first-person perspective. That's a great way to exclude people with motion sickness from playing games.
