I don't buy that. Talk to me again when Nordeus is transferring terabytes at a time of medical imaging scans. We're talking about potentially large spreadsheets here, nothing that is taxing a server in 2017.

Do some basic math, even if there are literally 10M users (not likely: World of Warcraft hit ≈12M at peak years ago, T11 is not same league for user base or data generation. but only Nord knows, 10M can easily be orders of magnitude off), and if the storage requirements for each user were 50MB (Yeah. Right. :/ ), that would produce 500TB of long term storage. Given commercial storage costs, that's fractions of a fraction of a penny each user per month. Given that A) stats history would aggregate (nobody ever asked to be able to review exact highlights from a match 6 months ago B) my estimates for both user base and storage per user would personally be much lower and..

That's just enough there.
