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!

    Oh believe me, it was the first thing I looked up after being greeted with the launcher. But good to spread the message, the game is great but god the spam of launchers all over gaming is awful.

      Amen. Not sure if the launcher has anything to do with the stats they collect, though. Would be nice to know. But Larian is one of a very few companies I don’t mind hoovering up my data.
