is gatekeeping what users MIGHT do, and/or deciding based on corner cases helpful to this discussion? (this isn't meant as a note directly to dorn, just a convenient place to interject) Aside from planning based on a formula like Jason Livingood's plan... OR based on build/deploy/upgrade costs into pricing. most of the rest of the conversation here sounds like gatekeeping: "Well, who needs that anyway?" or: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum - in the form of: "Well who can even use 8k anyway?" or similar. -chris On Mon, Jun 6, 2022 at 2:45 PM Dorn Hetzel <dorn@hetzel.org> wrote:
Agreed, even with a 16TB drive, that's only 16000*8 ~= 128000 seconds of 1-gigabit download rate (under 36 hours) :)

I meant downloads as in gigantic games. If you give them more bandwidth it just encourages the game makes to build bigger game downloads.
I don't buy that - users are still constrained on storage, especially on consoles. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
