Something, such as a thought or conception, that potentially or actually exists in the mind as a product of mental activity.

It doesn't, that picture simply shows how much possible gaming could occur (and on a very broad range) on the The Planet network. Im sure torrents/warez/porn outweigh everything by a mile. And next would probably come simple web site browsing/chatting/e-mail etc..After that, I am unsure.

For example, I used to mirror game installers for publishers (legally), and I easily go to and maybe even over 500GB of bandwidth per month with just two small titles. And not to mention the text based / simple games that can be played via telnet/ssh/browser as well as flash/shockwave games that are delivered through sites such as miniclips and newgrounds. Also, not to mention, not a single large game publisher I know / have worked with have any server housing their game servers in TP for some weird reason >.>
I would personally like to think that games in general (IE: mmog, flash games, browser based games, muds, etc.) take at least 25 to 35% of the internet traffic. Simply because all of us here at one point have played a game of some sort over the web one way or another. And every single person that's connected to the internet have also done the same... and quite a large group of them are 'regulars' who sits home all day just to play games (look at the member base of games such as World of Warcraft or Neopets and stuff like that, each have over few million user base >.>)Warning: include('signature') [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in eval'd code on line 38
