Russia is sending 6,000 megawatts to them over it.

Would be more helpful if they could supply them with 1.21 gigawats. Then they could just fast forward through all this bad crap.

Why do you all not understand that they arent losing money for not having the servers up. No power=No cost to keep the servers active. They already got our March payment, and if the servers arent up and we are credited for April, theres really no loss at all. They arent losing money, there is no cost when there is no power, duh

There is loss now and in the future. The buildings still have maintenance, security has to be paid for and workers still have to be paid. Sure some are not coming in but if they work on salary they probably still get paid. I am sure there are other expenses such as loan payments etc. Not to mention they are paying for their sites in NA and in Europe.
All in all yes they are losing money. Not only are they losing money right now they will lose money when some people do not come back.
Now they are not putting their game servers on line for the game but that doesnt mean they dont have some people still working.

well they do a pretty good job of not letting us know an estimated time for server reinstatement. Im sick of looking every couple hours to find nothing in suspension of services section since march 13th

Why does everyone think FFXI is their only revenue? I guess they never publish or release anything else. i must be living under a rock.

Good point Lolism.
By the way Sony is starting some of their production back up in Japan. Sounds like a good sign to me.

Ignoring the things that have already been mentioned, they could be making money, but they aren't. That's called a loss. Obviously you've never heard of opportunity cost.

Well if you notice how quickly they informed us of the outage after the first reactor incident, just consider that they'd probably tell us ASAP if something was going to delay it further. Maybe they are going to stick it out and bring the server back up at the end of the week. Call it wishful thinking, but I think they'd not wait until the last minute. They haven't been very reliable in the past sometimes, but I don't think they're *trying* to tick us all off.
