I heard over 300,000 people logged in just for the Open Beta. Probably well over a million copies sold worldwide for this game.
SE should have had pretty exact sales figures for presales so there's zero excuse for undercapacity during Early Access except in cases where deliberate stress testing is being performed.

When your systems are so overloaded you have to stop selling the game, that's a sign that someone made a very bad judgement call somewhere.
