Not sure if you've noticed or not, but there's a pandemic going on right now. And with such pandemic comes a supply shortage. Most notably for Square is the storage on semiconductors which are used in their servers.

If you're complaining about this, yikes.
I think it's rather disingenuous to blame the 'pandemic' for a situation that has been a problem even before Covid entered the equation. Why were they spending so much money on advertising the game if they had so little faith in their product drawing a crowd?

Furthermore, they future proofed the Japanese and North American servers but not the European servers. So they took steps towards accounting for player growth, but not to the degree required and only in certain regions - which strikes me as rather bizarre.

I'd also note that it is pretty standard for customers to raise concerns when a fault is detected in a service or product. Just because businesses that operate largely online like to embrace tactics that they would never ordinarily get away with as a more physical service that does not mean that everybody has to roll over, take it and buy into each and every deflection thrown their way.
