> Try justifying that a Candy Crush Saga download shut down a high oven, wasting millions of EUR in energy costs, for example. And yes, that happened at a steel factory here. They switched to open source afterwards and reimplemented everything from scratch

I'm searching for this but not getting any results. Could you share a link where I can read about it?

I can't find it neither, but "high oven" is properly translated as blast furnace.

Maybe OP is talking about this incident? [1]

Couldn't find another one mentioning unplanned shutdown or similar.

Well, I must have remembered it incorrectly then. Because not disclosing such a technical failure like this would be at least insurance fraud ... right?
