    it is sad to see that people don’t buy enough from GOG for them to crash.

    1. Several people reported problems with GOG, it’s just not listed in OP for some reason.
    2. Every platform scales their servers to their userbase so even if GOG had a dozen users they could still crash the servers by all downloading at the same time.

      I mean if they had a dozen users, it’d likely be because they’re just starting out, in which case they’d likely anticipate growth and have enough resources for a few thousand users. Nobody wants to botch the launch of a new platform.

        Everyone anticipates their user growth. Sometimes anomalies like this one exceed their anticipations. (Clearly)
