From Steam’s self-published stats.

Baldur’s Gate 3 could not be preloaded and weighed in at 125 gigabytes on disk, so when the game left Early Access at 11am US Eastern yesterday, Steam’s bandwidth utilization shot up 8x over a span of 30 minutes. I know personally, I saw my download hit over 600 Mbps across a 1 Gbps fiber connection.

Kudos to the system engineers at Valve. It is mind-boggling that they have built infrastructure that robust.

    Every once in a while I stumble upon a comment online that inadvertently reveals a lot about the person who made the comment.

      Lemmy has bizarrely high number of commenters that I can only describe as “Ken M, but sincere and angry”.

        She has no problem with actual porn but you’ll need to find an excuse/get permission to play BG3?

        Doesn’t seem like a healthy relationship dude
