Are We Finished Yet?

Edward has announced that the PC/PS2 and Xbox 360 servers will be undergoing Friday morning maintenance to fix a number of bugs that surfaced in previous updates.

In addition, Edward also announced that the Photon Art boost that was supposed to have been in effect for the duration of MAG+ was not applied as planned. Rather than add the boost in Friday's maintenance period, Sega of Japan will be waiting until Friday, March 12 to put it into effect.

This means that for the remaining PC/PS2 players, whose days are already numbered, the PA boost will be in effect for approximately 2 1/2 weeks before the servers get axed. That's considerably less time than had previously been announced. I guess you could say that it's Sega's final "fuck you" to the PC/PS2 players.

It's not like it really matters anymore, though. Most PC/PS2 players (including this one) appear to have accepted the fate of the servers and have moved on to something else. Of course, that doesn't mean we're all happy about what's going on, but is there really any point in beating that dead horse again?
