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 am not a Linux user mainly because windows is the way to go for gaming, but what steam is doing is good and necessary, it keeps a door open for gaming in case Microsoft want to close their system.
