I wonder if there is a mentality that ‘meh these are just game saves, big whoop’ as opposed to say Google docs. Hopefully data is data.
It'd say that Google is not serious about Stadia, long-term. Which was already known when they announced it for the first time, so not a lot of loss there.
This is very likely just a bug they'll fix soon though, at least I certainly hope so for the players' sakes.
I'm not involved in any of the ongoing and wouldn't comment on it. Came here to assert that this team is neither stupid nor callous.
If not, I’m concerned. I’ve worked at storage at scale too, and this is standard practice.
These are paying customers after all, surely they won't go around without backups. Imagine the image damage from something like that.
Profit generating services at FAANG's pay good money for engineers to be woken up in the middle of the night to fix whatever problems might arise.
It's been over 24 hours.
There is a serious bug, and the backups aren't working as expected.
Hugs to the SRE's.
