akamai yesterday - what in the world was that

Thu Jan 23 16:13:15 UTC 2020

This echoed events a month or so ago, and I'm curious as to what is 
making these releases more, uh, network-impacting.

Game releases are hardly a new thing, but these last two events seem to 
be almost an order of magnitude higher than what we're used to (at least 
on our predominantly eyeball network.)

Any thoughts from the community? We're taking steps to accommodate, but 
from a capacity-planning perspective, this seems non-linear to me.

Or is it just in my head?
