An ongoing outage at Amazon Web Services today demonstrates how much of the
Internet lives in Jeff Bezos' cloud service. As noted
on DCD, the outage began at around 10:45 am EST.
PC Gamer notes this took down platforms like UPlay and the Epic Games Store,
though both are both back up now. Using
Downdetector PC Gamer compiled a partial list of affected games:
- League of Legends
- League of Legends Wild Rift
- PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
- Valorant
- Dead by Daylight
- Clash of Clans
- Destiny 2

Wow, what a nasty thing to say.
Come on, let's face it... this list reads like a who is who of what's wrong with modern gaming. Casual, dumbed down multiplayer games with monetization up the wazoo. Thank you, AWS. You did mankind a service. Maybe some basement dwellers even got a breather to take out the trash from the last three years. Or five. That can't be a bad thing.
