In the middle of a worldwide pandemic, a self-proclaimed “Cult-Film Icon” Dave Vescio is spreading misinformation regarding the bandwidth usage of video games. Using internet bandwidth, Dave Tweeted out a “breaking news” on his Twitter Page to (mis) inform the world that video games are a major threat to the world’s internet bandwidth amidst the Coronavirus Outbreak. Unfortunately for him, facts disagree with him.
Video games on average consume no way near as much bandwidth as Netflix, Stan, Foxtel, ABC iView and others. For example, on average Overwatch consumes 135MB/hour and Destiny 2 uses 300MB/hour. Meanwhile, Netflix SD takes 1GB of data per hour and Netflix HD goes up to 3GB. If you are experiencing Netflix and chill in 4K, you’ll be using up to 7GB of data per hour.
