This is needed, but I guarantee the first year will be a disaster when everyone tries to buy them on the same day. The state's been operating the Fine Wines website for years and just try and buy online only whiskey when they send out an email that an allotment has been released. The second the email goes out the website is completely unresponsive for 10 minutes and when it finally comes back up, all the inventory is gone. This has been happening for years and the state doesn't give a damn. Imagine what will happen with tens of thousands of hunters try to get their license at the same time.

That happens because of bots buying stuff up

Is that really what's been happening? Admittedly, I haven't hunted for probably 10 years now but AFAIK you still needed to actually mail them in or buy in person. I don't see how bots are involved there.

I'm talking about op whining about the PA wine and spirits site crashing anytime there's a drop. This isn't just a state site issue, this literally happens to every retailer. Nobody has infrastructure capacity to handle it.
