Not true at all. What about the single player games or the fact that streaming movies and shows eat up more bandwidth than online games?😂😂

Music and meshes and textures are stored locally The only thing streamed in online gaming is parsing information and character data You know what isn't stored locally? Streamed movies and music

If the gamers dont comply they will divert and we will be in a blackout, now imagine that! No internet!!!!

Throttle the net to each house, maybe?

Idiots at daily mail thinks video games use more bandwidth that streaming movies. What a bunch of stupid boomers. Really. Learn to code. Might understand bandwidth a little better

It’s seriously interfering with my netflix service and I’m binging on Elite so stop gaming!!

No one is listening.

This is probably false, streaming movies and tv use exponentially more data that gaming, even online gaming, does.

Acadiansheperd This is what will bring the truth to light. You can’t expect folk to stay home, not use the Internet, and remain calm. Restrict the internet and you restrict communication and exposure that this farce is.

Is there any inconvenience too trivial for our governmental overseers? Only in a world that simply revels in banality!

Good luck with that, the ones I know are playing 16 hours a day

I'm only doing single-player games and sims nowadays

Hahahaha.... You seriously expect anyone that calls themselves a gamer to actually play less? many seem to show classic signs of being addicted.
