Epic is giving away big games for the next few weeks again

[Mr_Sukebe]

Why is Epic even using AWS in the first place, they should have their own data centres considering their size. Wonder if they will offer Second Extinction for another few hours.

IIRC, Amazon provide 99.9% availability, have lots of functionality (eg scale ability, failover and backup capabilities) and with their economies of scale, do it relatively cheaply.

Next is a bat, a V on a coffin and a moon, looks like it could be Vampyr.

The latest leaked list links to it also.

People forget that 99.9% availability isn't the same as 100% availability. There's a good calculator here - https://uptime.is/

99.9% availability means that you should expect the service to be unavailable for around 9 hours per year.

I think it more means that they would be in breach of contract if availability falls below that, and they would have to compensate you.

In theory, it’s the contract. Sometimes it’s service credits, sometimes it’s just overlooked. Mainly it’s about the relationship and how formally it’s approached. Some give and take often exists.

 

[StrongSad]

In all the contracts I ever did in telecoms it was always 99.9% with redundancy and some were 98% standalone. All had Force majeure as a get out.

Had my eye on kingmaker so hopefully it is right

people act like they were trapped in an abusive relationship with the game.

Its a good game (RPG) buried under some stupid mechanics.

[Haggisman]

Bah, did I miss mutant year zero?

 

[Syore]

Yes.

 

[Haggisman]

Poop oh well, grabbed vampyr for now

 

[mattyfez]

Vampyr is a cracking game, like arkham asylum meets RPG.

I say arkham asylum as the fighting bits are difficult and frankly janky until you skill up your fighting skills a bit. (if thats how you want to play it).

 

[Nickl245]

so what's on the 25th?
