I wonder how much they paid for that launch bandwith.

And it still gave me 800Mbps consistently right at launch time. Good servers.

Steam has a 30% cut, so, that pays

Because they use Akamai as a CDN.

Crys in low internet speed

Steam has some of the most consistent and high quality servers around. It’s quite rare to see them slow down or go down, at least in my experience.

I can’t think of a time steam was down (for me personally, I know outages happen) that wasn’t planned and announced well ahead of time
And I’ve got a lot of hours on steam

What, you just play “Steam”? :)
MolochAlter@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah, it’s got a very satisfying game loop:
ollie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
so high quality that they go down for maintenance every Tuesday…
kmkz_ninja@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That seems pretty normal if you want your servers to stay high quality?
ollie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
normal? not at all. Imagine if youtube went down every week, and they have way more overhead than steam

And at best only during specific sales like the Steam deck their servers became unresponsive for a bit.
