The players who actually played the game had to download it, and it is no small game, so a lot of the players didn't even play it on Friday. The player's jumped to the card farming on Friday, without even downloading the game, which didn't tax Relic's servers at all.


This is more of the speculation, but it might explain why the servers were fine on Friday, but stuggled on Saturday. After 2-6 hours of this, your get your cards, which you can sell on Steam. You don't need to launch or download the game, the program just pretends that you are playing on Steam. Steam card farming is quite popular, and many players run the program which emulates you playing the game. I will explain why there was 160k Coh2 players on Steamcharts, and nowhere near that in the game. Jump back to quoted post, 00:03 AM nigo
