Twitter Stream with updates from Japan

I don't understand how losing $3,000,000 (~$13 x 300,000) could ever be justified by closing the servers for 10 days, Japan's economy must be ruined

I used to be a financial analyst for a major computing firm. As part of my job, I invoiced one of their customers to the tune of $10M a month. And that was just ONE of their many, many customers. Square Enix is a very large company with multiple revenue streams. A loss of $3M will hurt, but I doubt it will ruin them.

There's was an earquake just now in the kanto region.

5.9 about 79 miles East/South-east of Tokyo. LOTS of activity right now, according to the USGS shake map.
