Let’s hope the major streamers, especially those have been partnering with Bliz are smart enough to not bite the hand that feeds them.
Jebus, arcsaber.
- Estimated average time to reach 10000 requests = 91sec.
- Multiplied by the average length of a game (difficult to determine because some games will be very short others will be very long. But I’ll use 1200sec) = 131000 requests/game for one player.
- To keep it simple, I’ll just use 1v1, thus doubled = 262000 requests/game
- Multiplied by 6000 games a day (your number) = 1572000000 requests/day
- Multiplied by $0.07 per 10000 requests = $11004/day
… plus all the games are have more than 2 players.
Now you see what kind of backing it takes to run a online game of this magnitude: The backing of a multi billion dollar corporation.
