Server and networks go down. It happens, and sometimes, no matter how much local testing you do, they only fail when you are at a huge number of users at a peak time (Sunday game playing). They should have expected it to happen and program accordingly.

That's what I meant, though. They would have expected large numbers of users. They knew how many copies of the game they sold, and should have planned their servers accordingly. Time will tell, though, whether it was a failure on their part or foul play.
