At first, the groundswell of traffic as people rushed to read up on one of the most bizarrely overhyped games of all time seemed to legitimately give the site problems, but eventually traffic got so intense the site was manually shut down by the host as a protective measure.



It would later be confirmed that the review served as catalyst for an attack as opposed to just an innocent burst of readers. It took some time to sort it out, since the fact the review ended up getting a ton of linkage on Reddit meant that, indeed, a genuinely huge traffic spike was occurring at the same time.



Anyway, once the problem was finally figured out, I just had to click a few buttons so that people who arent me could go ahead and fix it. The site would have been in working order quicker but it needed to be manually restored by people who, again, arent me. Im not good at technical stuff, if you couldnt tell by now. This is why I pay people.



Ill leave my general thoughts about the ridiculousness of the behavior surrounding No Mans Sky in general for an upcoming Jimquisition (you better believe thatll be a fun one), but suffice to say right now that the attack was incredibly pointless
