I've been at the Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition release event in Berlin. It was held at a Microsoft store with German YouTubers. Head of European Marketing for Xbox was there as well.

They couldn't play a multiplayer game because right at release, the servers were overloaded and the new version did not have a LAN mode at launch.

The whole purpose of the event was to have a kind of LAN / multiplayer gaming with the community and stream it.

They added a LAN server, and it's broken as it stands today. (Tried to play a LAN game with my brother and sister two weeks ago.)

It's broken and they don't seem to care, which is a huge shame.
