Fallout 3 Cripples Steam

Post by King of Creation »

<strong>[ Game -> Article ]</strong> - More info on <a href="#Fallout 3">Game: Fallout 3</a>

<p>Since nuclear power is far more powerful than steam, it comes as no surprise that the online delivery service Steam was dominated by the release of <em>Fallout 3</em>. <a href="http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/42600 ... -its-Knees" target="_self"> Apache at Voodoo Extreme reports</a>:</p><blockquote><p><em>Fallout 3 downloads begun on <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/">Steam</a> a few hours hours ago. There was no pre-loading, so as you can imagine, download speeds are <a href="http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... 0512">less than super awesome</a>
at this point (thanks, Brian). Typical speeds are lingering at around
30-50 kps, even on super fast, double wide connections. Valve was
unavailable for comment at the time of this posting on whether it would
'flip the big bandswitch' or let things run its own course. In the
meantime, feel free to watch about <a href="http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/previews/4 ... ours-In">7 gigs worth of videos</a> (cough).
</em></p></blockquote><p>We <a href="http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22143" target="_self">reported on the videos</a> yesterday, and they're all pretty good - and quite freaking long.</p><p>Spotted @ <a href="http://ve3d.ign.com/">Voodoo Extreme</a></p>
