XBOX ONE SALES FAIL: TITANFALL ISN'T GOING TO SAVE YOU MICROSOFT! Titanfall is running on Windows Azure dedicated servers, and according to the devs, the issue we're experiencing right now is a bug rather than a hard limit on the number of people who can play the game. Microsoft is "working on it."
This is obviously disappointing news for those who were hoping to spend their Valentines Day evening playing the beta, but in a sense we should probably be grateful. EA has a history of launching games (SimCity, Battlefield) that run into massive server problems at launch because of an apparent lack of preparation. The Titanfall beta going down now could be a blessing in disguise if it means that EA and Microsoft get their act together so that this doesn't happen to customers who've paid for the game on launch day. UPDATE: It also seems that EA sent out codes for the wrong platform to lots of beta applicants, so users who signed up for the PC beta got Xbox One codes in their email this afternoon. (In fact, this happened to some Games in Asia staff).
