From Steam’s self-published stats.
Baldur’s Gate 3 could not be preloaded and weighed in at 125 gigabytes on disk, so when the game left Early Access at 11am US Eastern yesterday, Steam’s bandwidth utilization shot up 8x over a span of 30 minutes. I know personally, I saw my download hit over 600 Mbps across a 1 Gbps fiber connection.
Kudos to the system engineers at Valve. It is mind-boggling that they have built infrastructure that robust.
I’m not the person you answered to, but as english ain’t my first language I figured I’d ask:
I get that this person was trying to say “piqued” as in “got my interest”
But wouldn’t “peaked” as in “my interest couldn’t possibly get higher as it has peaked from that new information” also be valid?
(I get it’s a saying, but as I’m not familiar with that saying in english it didn’t bother me, which is why I’m curious)
Yeah it technically would get across a similar meaning. And at this point I see “peaked” more often online than the right one. But “piqued” is the idiom— not that it matters all that much.
