Party server problems... perhaps they are getting DOSed?
They insist it's not their fault... I think it is fairly likely that it is a DDOS attack. This happens all the time to companies whose income depend on their uptime. Some hackers launch an attack from thousands of zombie (trojaned) computers and demand a small ransom to halt the attack (valued at much less than the company's projected loss if the downtime continues, thus making it worthwhile to pay the ransom rather than fight back). There's no logical reason for Party to be having "server problems." With their infinite funding, I think we can most definitely rule that out. Thoughts?
