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!

Honestly I bought it a week later to make sure it wasn't a lemon. I am glad I got it though. My wife and I play it together and it's the first game in a long while we both enjoy and play together. It has been over a decade since I have been this time invested in a game and not regretted it later.
