Ah, I must have missed that in the 'torrent' (

That's true, but there's two sides to the story. I think people are going off all half cocked on this one. Some are convinced it was user numbers due to the timing of the outage, some are convinced it's a DDOS again due to the timing (why disrupt a quiet time, when you can make a bigger impact during a busy time). Some cite the previous announcement of a DDOS by Ubiriptoft and others to counter that say that Ubiriptoft are lying. If people won't believe what Ubi say is the cause, then they'll never accept anything that is said and will just stick to their assumptions. It may as well be claims of aliens tampering with the DRM servers, because we'll never know if everyone lies... cue spooky music and don tin foil hat.
Have Ubi announced anything yet? No updates on Twitter at all yesterday.
