Key Points:
- Developer The Coalition confirmed that Gears of War: E-Day experienced a DDoS attack over the weekend, causing login issues and service disruptions for players.
- The attack involved overwhelming the game's servers with excessive requests, making it difficult for legitimate users to access the service.
- The Coalition managed to mitigate the attack within a few hours and continues to monitor the situation to prevent further disruptions.
- The timing of the attack is challenging for the game, which has reportedly underperformed in sales, selling fewer than 250,000 copies in its first week despite positive reviews.
- While physical and Xbox sales were low, an estimated 1.7 million players accessed the game through Xbox Game Pass, complicating the overall performance assessment.
