#3Oh it's okay, it's a single-player game, it's not that you need any server capacity for that. Other than download servers but it's Steam's problem, not publisher's.
...right?

kind of like how disk shouldn't be a bottleneck for framerate, but, you know... how we forget.

It’s also multiplayer coop but I assume this is P2P

#6It's not obligate-multiplayer, but seeing as it's a Dungeons and Dragons implementation with lots of best-in-class multiplayer features it seems libelous to call it "single player".

#8So, the whole middle management caste, that pushed for simplified, broader appeal consumer friendly games while naying any attempt to revive old games, is currently packing its cardboard boxes and lining up for the exit?

I love how the party can split up and go do completely different things. That's often difficult to do even in a traditional tabletop setting.

They have a cross platform save sync service which has been disabled, but it sounds like that wasn't load related. I'm not sure how big the save games are but 700k people mashing the quick save button every 30 seconds probably adds up.
