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!
