DDOS attack

[Sove92]

You did it! You said the thing!!


They do not get impacted for days on end. Days.

Why is Square Enix so immune to any form of criticism whatsoever? Even the shareholders are critical, and they own the company.

You omitted the answer from the very same post you quoted.

As annoying as it is, DDoS is just something we have to live with. The amount of money Square Enix would need to invest in preventative measures is far too high for how very little they get DDoS'd (Even then, its not guaranteed their protections will be strong enough if the attackers come back with an even bigger botnet). It's easier for them to just give out free time in the random chances it happens and occurs for longer than 1-2 days.

No MMO is going to invest hundreds of millions into DDoS protection when these attacks don't cost them anywhere near that much. The big tech companies cannot afford to go down globally for a day, FFXIV can. It's just a fact.

But given you omitted that part and strawmanned the post into a criticism shield, I don't think you are here for constructive discussion anyway. Also, it's not like a DDoS is an everyday occurrence for this game. The last time i remember an attack as bad as Monday's was way back in 2018, this game has not suffered a major DDoS attack in a very long time.
