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 got my game from Gog, so I guess I'm not in that statistic.

I can't find any GOG stats. Doesn't seem like they offer any numbers. I bought the game on Steam, GOG and also the collectors edition, and gave that steam key away. I'm currently only playing on Steam, but I do want to get BG3 up and running on GOG as I do prefer that platform.

How would GOG know? The attraction of the platform is they hand you the game file and are done with you, no DRM, no tracking, no nothing.

I assume a lot of people that use gog also use gog galaxy. It's nice to know you actually have the game files drm free, but I still prefer having the features in gog galaxy like automatic updates for example.
