For context, Larian Studio founder Swen Vincke predicted that the game could reach 100,000 peak concurrent users during its debut period, and that was a fairly optimistic prediction. I work in IT, and really feel for those folks. I hope they designed their infrastructure to scale!

And that’s only Steam, not including GOG, or the influx of PS5 users next month. Let’s take it to 1 million!

    I don’t have much time to play but I managed to play during peak with a friend who bought me the game (money’s tight with a kid on the way). Our duo play a nude halfling divorcee monk (midlife crisis!) and his buddy dwarf barbarian who’s going nude too. He’s happily married with kids, selling smoked meats— at least, until their abduction anyway!

    So there’s our contribution!
