So the compression is only for data cap purposes? Would they allow a full inmage for thouse who can handle it? Maybe reviewers could take another crack at it. I mean its still pointless cuz if this is already toping data caps on first World nations. But then they can say "see we are good. It's you lowlife peasants and crappy internets."

Stadia needs to make money too.... so NO.

So the compression isnt just for peoples benefits (with compression 4k, can use more than 20GB+ pr hour).
1 TB data cap / month cant even play a game for 50 hours at 4k.

Those mobile phone plans.... yeah this doesnt make sense for streaming to phones.

Without data caps, and with insane bandwidth.... google still wouldnt do it I suspect, its a matter of the costs.
They need to take a cut of that 60$, and still be able to pay off the price of the PC power consumption + maintaince + bandwidth costs.

Spending even more on un-compressed data sent, would eat away at their profits.
