You are very dismissive and impolite. I'm sure they are complaining about it not because they have nothing better to do.

>We wanted to provide a bit more context for the most recent login issues and service instability. All of our cloud services are affected by updates required to mitigate the Meltdown vulnerability. We heavily rely on cloud services to run our back-end and we may experience further service issues due to ongoing updates.

So they are saying "you can't log in because we're too cheap to rent more servers now that this patch has increased CPU usage"

What console of the current generation comes with an Intel CPU?

And in any case the Meltdown patch is not too bad for games.
