In the close to 3 years i've been playing i've allways known them to be around this time. Am i mistaken?
Also has nobody thought about the fact this could have nothing to do with inconvieniancing anyone but more with working hours in japan, with the people that have to actually do the updating? Do we demand they do it during night hours for them?
Agreed i can only guess, but i'm fairly shure everything software related is done remotely on each datacenter from japan headquarters.
