    They are shutting down AC and reducing office lighting... FOR YOU!

    I hope all the haters, trolls, and outright selfish people will be greatful for this sacrifice. It must be pretty hot there right now...

    Actually it's winter, so it is really cold. Way worse in my opinion.

    I am amazed at their commitment to their players.

    Be realistic. They are doing this for the sake of the game, not me, not you, not Joex4560. The longer servers are down the more chance for players to try another MMO and get hooked. People are easily distracted and pulled away. If they lose to many players people get laid off, maybe not the whole team, but some people at least.

    This is overall a smart move, a week or two of working in a hot/cold office vs people possibly having to spend months looking for a new job.

    Yeah that's great being that they aren't even in the blackout zone.

    Sony's GT5 servers have been up for ages.

    They can't.

    And they are not doing this as a sacrifice for the players or to make people happy. They are a business and even tho' the country is still in shock they need to push forward if they want to survive as a business.

    The longer they are down, the more people will leave the game. The game is already in trouble and more downtime will only hurt it more.

    I'm not saying SE don't care about us the players, but honestly they did not do all this because they are nice but because they cannot afford any more downtime as a business.
