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.
Socially acceptable T&A, same reason everybody was into The Witcher; with BG3 you can even tell your parents / girlfriend / whatever that it’s a sequel to a beloved game you remember from your childhood.
My friend there’s a lot of porn. And if you like the interactivity, there’s a lot of good porn games now. Check itch.io. The few seconds of titillation is not why most people are playing these games.

Every once in a while I stumble upon a comment online that inadvertently reveals a lot about the person who made the comment.
Lemmy has bizarrely high number of commenters that I can only describe as “Ken M, but sincere and angry”.
Oh man I forgot about Ken.
Married to a wife who has no problem with watching actual porn, but thanks for playing
She has no problem with actual porn but you’ll need to find an excuse/get permission to play BG3?
Doesn’t seem like a healthy relationship dude
You made two in a row! Impressive.
Sick burn, enjoy your elf-infused masturbation dude
C’mon, be serious my dude; githyanki > elf
Can’t get much hotter than Karlach tbh

Preorders exploded after news came out about bear sex.
Yeah because it’s funny and got people talking about the game
Really though, I wish nudity and sexuality wasn’t such a big taboo thing in society. So what if people get horny by the game, is that a bad thing?
It probably is, ya
But why?
