I've been a developer for over 20 years now and understand the technical aspects of what's happened; maybe a little deeper than non-devs. I do understand Eugen and although I'm not happy about it, I'll be patient. Having said that, using country holiday as an excuse would be a fireable offense in most of my previous positions. In the US, part of the job as devs, we must ensure uptime, even if it means working nights and holidays. That's one of the reasons we get paid well. It doesn't mean that we can't take days off to compensate, but there's an expectation of not impacting paying customers' work or playtime. If I was senior at Eugen, realizing the potential damage these interruptions cause, I would take a hard look at what happened, explain it to the communite together with an assurance of why it won't happen again. Communication, however painful it may feel to the dev team, is much more appreciated by customers than silence and no explanation. In my experience, silence usually means sub-par technical ability. Hope it'll be fixed soon.
