In the dynamic online environment gamers can download games instantly and play against real opponents live, any time of the day or night. To give them the high-performance experience they crave, game developers, publishers and aggregators have to master the complexity of delivering massive game files to global users and handling heavy, unpredictable traffic. If they don't, poor performance and failed downloads can kill a launch and bring the brand down with it.
