Since Nopy has been down, why aren't more game developers using Google Drive to upload their games to? The download time for games is so much faster then any other service currently being used by any of the games I've played.

I'm currently trying to download a game that's 1.7G and has an estimated time of completion between 2-3 hours. I can only assume that these sites are throttling download speeds. The sad thing is I probably will not play the game because I will never finish the download. I'm usually not at my PC long enough to allow it to finish before my PC goes into sleep mode and halts the download which many times never restarts.

If too many people access a GDrive file, it gets locked.

So its great for say Patron releases, where you might have a few hundred, but putting it on here would get you the "too many people are trying to access this file" message very quickly if it was popular.

Oh, well that sucks that they do that.
