downloads per hour

Here is a chart of Xmas Bonus downloads per hour for those who are interested, no figures (due to NDA), but you can see the trend. The 3 peaks are breakfast, lunch and after work. However Europe is 5 hours ahead of US so when you see the early peak at 4am that's probably Europe's breakfast. The 2nd peak is US breakfast and Europe lunch combined. 3rd peak is US lunch and Europe home time combined. Well that's my theory anyway. Enjoy!

I don't eat at 2pm.....

so people were download at breakfast and after work?

So does this mean Xmas Bonus is the main culprit of people suddenly getting fat all over the world?
wait... maybe not

so some nice sensible replies there then ;-)

By the way, Grey -- you do seem to have hit the nail on the head with this game.

I just started playing the demo earlier this evening when my wife walked in, and before I knew it it was "oooh, let me try that for a minute" and I didn't get my computer back until I had downloaded & installed it on hers as well.

xlsior: glad to hear the target market loves the game! You know what to buy the lovely lady for Christmas then ... (hint)

That's cheating :D Now you've got extra demo time - I hope you don't share the license key WHEN you buy it :D

surely he'd never do such a thing?

What I'm most impressed with is the sense of nationalism that Americans must feel eating their meals at the same time as their brethren on the other side of their country.

yeah, just think octo when you are eating your croissant, or perhaps pancakes and maple syrup, I'm eating soup or a sandwich, and maybe we are both browsing the Internet instead of reading a morning paper.
