When Baldur's Gate 3 came out, Steam's overall bandwidth consumption went from around 18 Tbps to 146 Tbps

From Steam's self-published stats.
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.
that's a lot of tablepoons
It's hard to get steam into tablespoons. I was really impressed.
Damn, The double whammy of jokes here got me good
That's only like 9 Cups of Bandwidth
Damn that's just over 1 and a half pints
A pint is 2 cups, so it's actually 4.5 pints!
