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.

    My friend there’s a lot of porn. And if you like the interactivity, there’s a lot of good porn games now. Check itch.io. The few seconds of titillation is not why most people are playing these games.

        Yeah because it’s funny and got people talking about the game

        Really though, I wish nudity and sexuality wasn’t such a big taboo thing in society. So what if people get horny by the game, is that a bad thing?
