Sony and Square Enix Shame on You!

[Jonny_Tapas]

So PSN dropped for maintenance, and Square has planned maintenance tonight as well for the 2.45 hotfix.

How about instead you give your employees off early on this fine Christmas Eve like 99% of the other businesses world wide and stop jacking with prime gaming time!

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

I can't speak for everyone else, but don't thank me for understanding, because I don't understand... I can't possibly think of a worse evening to take away our toys.

It's been made clear that the Lodestone forums are for players to give feedback. Any and all consumer opinions hold value.

<-- Clearly missed the point.

Don't forget to make the same thread in the Sony forum

Also in Japan it's Christmas Day, which is about as important an actual day as New Years day is in the U.S.
People usually do their celebrating on christmas eve, while christmas day is more or less morning stuff and then to work.
Hell the only reason most businesses actually give Christmas off to their employees in Japan is because it conveniently falls the day before the Emperor's birthday. In fact that being an actual national holiday is why they're doing it now and not the day after christmas...because THAT is a bigger holiday (for time off) for them!
Now, New Years on the other hand...don't expect ANYTHING to get done until January 5th if it involves a Japanese company.

Also many places don't count Christmas eve as a holiday, just Christmas day. Same for New Years eve, whereas Jan 1 is the actual holiday. Maybe they did maintenance now so that the employees can actually have Christmas day off. Makes since to me.
