Re: Clue Truck coming down the road...

I doubt there are nearly as many gamers as P2P users.

Sure, gaming patches probably use a lot of bandwidth, but nowhere NEAR the exponential amount that P2P does. Gaming patches are all downstream which modern broadband connections are supposedly 'designed' for. WoW is now using bittorrent to distribute their patches, so they are the exception, but Steam and such don't, everything comes down one fat pipe from the content provider.
