  • bugabuga Max Smolev (@bugabuga) reported

    Heh. @Steam logic: "Let's force users of new MMO to wait to download & unpack the client, cause gods know it'd be too good to do all that in advance and let user wait on login into server screen". Steam today: "HOW many users requested the stuff?! Panic! Server death!" #LostArk

  • Wrathful_Games Wrathful Games (@Wrathful_Games) reported

    @playlostark So exactly at 11am mountain time, unpacking begins on stream. Obviously @Steam messed up the release time and did nothing to fix it. nice
