Why is EU Server Maintenance Scheduled During the Day?

[asd]

Hey everyone, there's a 5-hour maintenance on EU servers starting at 7 AM. Any idea why it's not scheduled during nighttime? I'm in the Prague time zone

Pretty normal maintenance window for USA based companies. They do it so their USA players are never experiencing the downtime but the rest of the world does. Its the same as USA using the silly date format they use which nobody else in the world uses. Theyre very USA centric and always will be no matter how much we all moan or the fact their player based is mostly non US.

How about you think critically? Why would a US based company bring in their employees overnight, paying them overtime and working them through the night? Its almost like they schedule the maintainence around a 9 - 5 work day so their employees work normal hours because y'know they are at work unlike you europoors sooking at 7am about maint.

Clearly you have no idea. It's a IT company... you know, we do not need to bring employees in to do a patch/roll-out. Can write a script, can do it remote - and to be safe, just have one guy do a special shift to check that everything goes smooth.

This sucks. Specially for such long maintenances, it should be scheduled nightly, say 2AM to 8AM? fine. But as it is now? it's not good at all. and I'm phrasing it like that because if I write what I think I might get banned...
Most people won't have all day long available to play whenever you want, and blocking the game 5-6 hours on daytime every maintenance (which happens very often) is not a good decision.

No complaints from Transylvanians.

These guys working from home you mentioned would still have to remotely do it during night time hours for the US based company therefor have to be paiiiiiiiiiid say it with me overtime. Why bring in a guy for a "special shift" when I can just do the maintenance during a normal work day and not pay overtime? This is business management 101 brother. Europoors need to stop sooking and fix their continent before its rename New Islamabad.

The least amount of players are on during the morning hours, most people work for a living and aren't streamers.

USA is 30% richer than EU and it has doubled in 2023. So yeah

The average hourly labour cost in 2023 was estimated at €31.8 in the EU and at €35.6 in the euro area. However, this average masks significant differences between EU Member States, with hourly labour costs ranging between €9.3 in Bulgaria and €53.9 in Luxembourg


The US The federal minimum wage for covered nonexempt employees is $7.25 per hour.

I dunno who is most poor to be honest............ Even Bulagrians have higher minimal wage then the US....

According to the World Bank, 2023 per capital GDP adjusted for purchasing power in the United States is more than one-third higher than that of the EU, at $81,695 vs. $60,350. Disposable incomes favor the U.S. as well.
By 2023, the difference had doubled, to more than 30 percent.
Just use your head and google.

No. You would give one guy another shift, no extra pay. That's how it's done. He would not work extra hours, he just get's another "shift". And btw. everyone would take that "shift" because it's gonna be chill, like on-call duty.

Giving him another shift is paying an extra employee one more days work. I am Amazon and I treat my employees like ♥♥♥♥. I am not doing that.
If these guys are salaried then they DEFINITLY aren't picking up an extra un-paid shift. Accept that these guys run their maintenance around a 9-5 work day for their employees and stop sooking like the third world europoor migrants you are. I am posting objective fact.

why are you trying to emotionally manipulate jeff bezos

[Maguflis]

this time is lowest online count. make sense

[ItsMaam]

because most normal people are at work 8-5
people with unusally large amounts of free time, shift workers or unemployed are the only ones on during the day which are a minority and the least disruptive for the majority
