So about our network issues here

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Thanks SE for disconnecting half of our static btw!
Seriously fix theese servers...

Yes, because SE can fix the DDoS attack against an international backbone provider, what your and their ISP connects to. This is 100% a reasonable request.

It's a routing issue btw. I'm wondering where our sub money gets put into

Other projects, especially mobile games because that's apparently where the major cash cows are.

There may be some devs that might care about the game (especially Yoshi), but the company really doesn't.

According to the lodestone the ddos attacks are only affecting EU datacenters.

So for the people on NA data centers that have been having these issues for the past few days, that is a reasonable request.

Ddos attacks are a lie though. Online service providing companies use the Ddos lie all the time when they have network issues.

Gonna have to provide proof to back up that claim.

Not saying square does, but there are companies that do. It's one of those "Because some do it, you can't always be 100% sure" situations.

I realize that this might be hard to grasp, but....

No one can predict nor completely stop DDoS attacks from happening from any smuck that knows what they're doing. DDoS attacks happen to other businesses all of the time as well like Google and Amazon, you just don't hear it about it as often. I remember one year when the entire PSN was down around Christmas time.

Companies can lie.

IIRC 2016 was very bad for PSN, Poodlecorp were one of the responsible but there have been many others.

Anyway, no doubt SE have DDoS, I'm actually surprised it doesn't happen more but companies use the DDoS card all the time when there's network issues. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's not.

I should have said 'SE can lie'.

If you think every time a company claims that they have a DDoS attack is a lie, then perhaps you really need to read up more on DDoS attacks first before automatically playing the "every large corporate company is a dirty scoundrel and a liar because I can't my play game!" card.

Blizzard get DDoS attacks all of the time as well, however, they are a bit, and not by a long shot, a bit better at handling their servers than SE does.

I also am not that paranoid to think that every time I don't get what I want that a company is lying to me to save face. Does SE lie sometimes? It's possible.

Would they be lying about DDoS attacks? Probably not. It's bad for PR to have them period, why on earth would a company want to lie about having or not having one to begin with.
