But it replaces multi gigabyte downloads with multi gigabyte per hour downloads.
- deminature 7y agoIt allows instant-play on 10mbit connections, where you would need to wait 10-20hrs otherwise to play. Even on gigabit connections, you're going to wait ~1hr to play AAA games as opposed to starting immediately. Instant gratification is powerful.
- meheleventyone 7y agoSure but I’m highlighting the cost of that cause it’s not free. If you’re playing at 4K (which you couldn’t on 10mbit) you’ll be downloading 15Gb of data per hour. I also predict this is going to go up rather than down as we see more data packed in to help reduce felt latency.
