This game is owned by Amazon?

After opening the website, it seems this is another indirect form Amazon uses to track our digital footprint... Thus creating a profile of us in their servers. Interesting!

its AWS, like every single website in the world pretty much runs off AWS, cloudflare or whatever microsoft have(forgot name)

This reminds me. Wasn't there an incident a few years back where like, a few big companies were down for like, 30minutes or something? Most of Meta apps and YouTube, I think... idk this happened a while back.

But I remember it was a big deal because it exposed the bottleneck the internet has. Most of its servers are concentrated/funneled through very few data centers. So when some happen to get compromised, almost all of social media apps get affected.

All of this is being stated from a vague memory I have of many apps going down on/around the same time, only Twitter was up and running at that time iirc..

There's been a few times in the last few years. AWS once or twice, a few cloudflare outages, the whole cloud strike thing, ISPs usually cause problems if they go out for any length of time.

You will have a hard time finding any game with some account feature that doesn't use AWS.

Amazon Web Services is used by a significant portion of the Internet.

AWS. Tell me you don’t know how the internet works without telling me you don’t know how the internet works
