I don't think we're far off from starlink offering sat data unanimously. Big firms don't purchase data, they purchase bandwidth on already operational infrastructure. Sony already has dicisions in almost every country. If the product isn't compatible with a certain market, don't sell it there... you wouldn't open up a dog meat restaurant in down town Toronto would you?

The fact that wifi is already available at home makes it even better, more than half the downloads would likely just be off wifi, solving half the issue.

Idk why I am arguing for this dudes idea, I just thought it was creative and out of the box. Ideas like this are not impossible.

OP was asking if it would be a cool product to have if it were viable, not to build an entire business plan.... they ought offer us a spot on Shark tank 🤣

How many mobile console do you know of that can run COD?

Unlimited data plans are like $70/month. A major gaming firm could strike a major deal and secure this at a fraction of the cost due to economies of scale.

There are ways to limit data to one thing. Have you ever tried to log into those "free wifi" portals that direct you to their website and service agreement before allowing you free wifi?

A good business strat considers ease of access. If the games are available for purchase and DL any where, anytime.... you might have a banging idea. I could see that steam console implementing this.

You could easily build the cost of that data into the purchase price... Brilliant!
