The only game to patch during prime time

[ArkhamNative]

It's a 10-hour maintenance. There isn't more than a 4-hour block of time outside any of the game's 3 regions' prime time, so someone's going to get impacted. Also, the game is still on several types of lock-down, including a sales stoppage on its biggest source of new customers less than 2 weeks after launch. It's critical for them to increase capacity, install critical tools and functionality, and make some serious bug fixes. And last but not least, it's probably a good idea if the people at the center of this major operation aren't pulling a 12-hour all-nighter after a 12-hour all-day shift.

Anyway, once maintenance gets more routine, like around 3 hours long, then SE should be able to slide them into one of the two non-primetime periods. If they don't, then maybe the affected region will have some justification to gripe about it. But in the past, maintenances were only about every month or two, and had a big list of new game features with them, so there was mostly excitement rather than griping, IIRC.
