lmao no. Trying to convince our ISP to drop the extra $150 a month we'd have to pay to have an unlimited download limit is gonna be laughable at best.

From the article:
«Harrison stuck to his guns when presented with this concern, saying he believes "ISPs are smart [and] they understand that they’re in the business of keeping customers happy and keeping customers with them for a long time."»

Yeah, happy, that's why some of them set data caps, to keep customers happy, right?! Does Phil even understand what he's saying, seriously?

Also, what will give them more money, you paying for access + data you exceeded or just paying for access? Unless we're talking about separate subscription that covers access + data you exceeded, but i don't think that'll make a customer "happy".

Who tf is he addressing???
I haven't seen a single soul who's interested in their service since announcement...

Harrison is so niave, full priced games and now ISP will sort out the data caps pmsl, this is dead on arrival.

One of the worst executives in gaming history remains relevant and employed even though everywhere he has left was better before and after his tenure.

If anything, this'll give ISP's the bright idea to remove unlimited bandwidth and charge gamers for more space with "Premium plans for streaming/gaming".

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA!

lol, sure ISP's will solve the huge increase of bandwidth on their end by taking that loss.
That's not how it works.

Another Don Mattrick pot head

Fools. Our gaming industry is run by fools.

The ISPs? The ones pushing for destroying net neutrality? They are going to save us? Okaay.

This guy comes off as pretty clueless sometimes.

Governments should of influenced change because our current infrastructure is capable of being far superior than it is but why do it when it will only cost the ISPs and they wont have any turn around.

*facepalm*

in other words your ISP will give you nice beautiful internet service packages with very low prices with considerate data caps..............hmmm I think I'm going to throw up now.

Remember this is the Harrison who oversaw the disastrous PS3 launch and proceeded to get hired at Microsoft right before the disastrous Xbox one launch.

Sony and Microsoft both recovered after his resigning.

Everything this guy touches he kills.

That's it create a problem so someone else can sell you a solution win win for the corps but not us

I'm sorry Phil, but i believe that your belief is seriously misguided.

Rotflmao

For a small increase of $250.99, you too could enjoy some Google Stadia!

Phil Harrison is such an idiot...how can anyone put him in charge of anything other than a Dairy Queen?

Phil should just run for president of the US because his bs side talk is perfect for politics.

Not interested, never was and never will be interested in a streaming/internet only device. What was the other one, the Ouja or something like that l? It lasted for a few months and bankrupt.

Yeah right after they solve throttling and break up their cooperative duopolies...

F*** it, the ISPs will figure it out /s

America is super backwards when it comes to medical heathcare, gun control, and broadband compared to the rest of the world.

I have zero interest in a streaming console from any company so I'm a bit biased.
But comcast says hello

Keep talking Phil. You're only digging the Stadia's grave that much deeper.

Phil has lost it since leaving Sony.

Less power to google.

Im a founder baby! Have Stadia founders edition pre ordered! video game hoarders who like to buy physical games just to collect them and never play them or people that just LOVE sitting through constant game updates and installations and downloads can have their out of date consoles. Google Stadia here I come baby!!

Yeah ISPs totally love embracing data sucking devices and helping the average Joe game all day and night is on their highest priority. Right next to convincing your grandmother see needs a 100mbps internet connection.

I streamed rdr2 to my vita over 4g while I was traveling to see if it was possible it is and the 720p image cost 600mb for 25 minutes of Gametime.

Streaming video is easy but that already outs an incredible load on our broadband networks but games that will topple ISPs not equipped with enough cvc

Im sure they will......

.....for a price

Yeah meaning they will charge you more so you don't have one.....yay

"I mean, it's one banana, Micheal... What could it cost? Ten dollars?"

These people are living on another goddamn planet of they think ISPs are going to give up their overages for nothing. It's not like I have any choice in who I'm with either. Yay Spectrum.

Want NOTHING to do with the turd called Stadia other than use Google / Youtube services & even then I have a strong dislike as they heavily censor everything. The turd called Stadia doesn't allow for the downloading of games & it's never guaranteed that you'll have a stable internet connection.

This thing is going to bomb.

Another guy named Phil

D.O.A. If Google honestly believes this, they have completely lost touch with reality. I guess they've never experienced being throttled.

That’s a failing business model lmfao

Comcast is the largest cable provider in the United States, they have a option already with no data cap. I know that because I have it, its the Xfinity xFi. They will be fine.
