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 have 165 hours played, about half of that in early access. I’m just about to get to Baldur’s Gate itself for the first time, and can already see that I’m going to have at least two more full playthroughs to explore the campaign’s boundaries. How much content do you think qualifies for your standard?

There are no perfect games, but this one hits a lot more than it misses.
