None of those games were so hugely popular that the companies making them couldn't possibly fathom how much stress it would put on the servers.

Also bad analogy is bad, and you should feel bad. It's not at all like a manufacturer selling you a car that you can only drive 1/5th of the time. It's closer to a company selling millions of cars, so many that you can't even get the thing out of the parking lot to drive it, because it's so popular that everyone is doing the same.

inb4 default "white knight" remark, go to excuse of bads who don't know what they're actually talking about.
