Not targeting this post particularly, just the conversation.

In this particular case, SE is only doing what is requested by the Japanese government to conserve power for the rest of the nation, secondary servers etc don't mean much when they only mirror and boost the original data signals. Sure, SE could have set up fully functional servers, rather than mirrors, in other countries. But something like that in most cases is a foolish waste of money, granted in this situation they could have benefited, had they chosen to even use those, but this kind of situation isn't common enough to generally bother with planning for, especially in the gaming industry. Again, they are only abiding by what the government has asked them to do.
