Non computer virus actually kills the internet…we can blame COVID 19.
With lots of players being in lock-down in whatever country they live in means that it will overload the servers because everybody will be online at the same time trying to do the update.
I am not standing up for anyone but if the DEVS/ADMIN are told by their governments to only go to work if they work for a necessary job. I would not call this necessary work so we just have to put up with all the crap we are getting.
