The beta for portal-infused arena shooter Splitgate has become so popular that it's running into a real-life math problem. pg
Splitgate went into beta earlier this month, and the developers at 1047 Games have been enjoying the massive success of the first game from their small team. Unfortunately, little did they realize that the database powering their server architecture has a built-in limitation of 65,536 concurrent players. Why that number in particular? Easy, because it's 2 to the 16th power - and if there's one thing that computers absolutely love, it is the various powers of 2. Just can't get enough of 'em.
