GigaOm has an interesting post on online distribution of games. Attention grabber: “All told, Steam gamers are generating more Internet traffic than all PC users in Italy combined.”

This is the start of continuing coverage of online gaming and MMOGs. Suggested title for the series, which was rejected on the grounds of staidness: Low Ping Bastard. (To find out the meaning, in case you are not among the gaming cool kids, click the link.)

It seems timely. As broadband expands, the gamers will be the first to push out into the new tech territory -- they always are (along with the porn purveyors, of course).
