If people get seriously upset over this, grow up (Even all you game is srsbsns people). There are more important things going on.

You're the ones to blame. After all, it's in retaliation of Pearl Harbor.

I don't think anyone is upset over the servers being shut down.
And if there are, they need a reality check.

Think of it this way; Would you rather they shut them down to protect data, and you get a warning, or they just die, and you lose up to when the servers synced with the backup servers?

But if I did, and they shutdown the servers for a significant period of time, regardless of the circumstances, I'd expect some sort of compensation. I'd expect any company to do so, but I know SE won't.
Why is it ok for them to be greedy but not for me?

100% agree.
I mean seriously think if this would happen to us. Think others would be wanting a refund bc we would have to shut things down to do what we could to help the country out? I really don't think so.
It's a game guys, what happened in Japan is a tragedy, just think of if it happened to the rest of us, and not think of yourselves.
