In response to "Oh wow. Does anyone know how much it costs to run an online game of this scale?" by David

I mean, they had 3.4 million concurrent players last month (possibly much more now).

Not sure what that adds up to regarding server costs.

Seems like they're a fairly small company though. They weren't entirely prepared for this amount of success but they've handled it beautifully.

That's precisely why I'm asking. It seems like it's always in the top 3 on Twitch. - David Mar 21, 12:31 5
- It's #1 by far and cannibalized PUBG majorly (which ruled most of 2017) -- nm - Tim Mar 21, 12:37
- It's number one on Twitch by a good margin now. - Dignan Mar 21, 12:33 [Attachment] 3
  - The gap between #1 and #2 represents more hours than #4 gets. - David Mar 21, 12:39 2
    - and #4 isn't even a game, it's the IRL channel, which the irony of still makes me laugh. -- nm - Tim Mar 21, 12:40 1
      - I have to say that I very much enjoy watching illustrators demonstrate their craft in real time. -- nm - David Mar 21, 12:42
you can play on the PC too correct? -- nm - Beaker Mar 21, 12:28 6
- Yes. With crossplay among PC/PS4/XBox. nm -- (edited) - Dignan Mar 21, 12:31 4
  - Wait, PS4 finally gave in? -- nm - Spawn Mar 21, 12:32 3
    - Pretty sure it's been on PS4 since the beginning? nm - Dignan Mar 21, 12:35 2
      - It appears that X-Box and PS4 still can't play together. -- (link) - Spawn Mar 21, 12:46
      - "it can cross with PC but not PS4 that I understand. -- nm -- groiny (aka groiny) Mar 20 '18, 12:23 " - Spawn Mar 21, 12:43
- Everything except PS. -- nm - Spawn Mar 21, 12:29
