99.999% means roughly 30 seconds of downtime a month. If you play 4 hours a day every day, that means two periods of 30 second downtime a year. I can't imagine any game even trying to reach that sort of stability. It would be a complete waste of time and resources

you just downvoted me because games dont have 99.999% (in the sense of the word) uptime, which is not what i meant anyway... The thing is, crashes are not acceptable and so measures need to be taken, which is what Carmacks original quote is referring to.
