Not really.

It is just very public when they go out.

Steam, Blizzard, Activation are down at least 6 hours a week. While Bank of America is offline 24hours/month. Scheduled downtime is still downtime.

Except in the SLA.

I've argued more than once when watching a vendor announce "emergency scheduled maintenance"(!) as an outage is looming.
