It crashed all major gaming store fronts for several minutes. No other game this decade has done that, and theoretically it should get harder each day as systems scale to handle more traffic. The fact that it wasn’t just one store or half of them is incredible to me and shows how anticipated this game was.
It was literally the most wishlisted game on Steam, beating out all of the AAA titles. And it’s been being hyped for 7 years. If that doesn’t make it one of the most anticipated games of the decade, I’m really not sure what metrics you’re looking for for that statistic.

Minutes? Damn near 2.5 hours for me on Steam, and I was seriously trying lol
Because it couldn’t be preordered. Surge capacity’s always lower than sustained.

Hyped for 7 years with basically no action or advertising from the devs, too. They didn’t need to stoke the hype at all.
It’s one of the very few games ive been anticipating.
