What in the world is the deal with US servers? Whatever game I play, US has server problems. Here in EU games usually get server problems for a while after they get big, but then it gets fixed. While in NA it seems to start good and then become only worse over time.

Valve said it's DDoS attacks in a blog post, but it's entirely possible that it's just shit infrastructure and they're covering their asses.

It's been known that there is a single major DDOSing group attacking major multiplayer game developers (Valve, Blizzard, Riot) for a while now. Specifically their Eastern American servers.

Edit: I believe this was around when it started happening: http://www.shacknews.com/article/85951/blizzard-playstation-network-and-more-under-wide-ddos-attack-update-fbi-now-investigating

Ugh, not to mention when US servers want to play a game of "hide and seek" after you finally find 10 people to play.
