Title. It seems like the game runs better after they do it.

EDIT: As in what specific actions do they take, you goobers. :roll_eyes:

Clear caches, check ram and data integrity, diagnostics on hardware yadda yadda.

If you let any system run constantly forever it’ll pick up some problems. Regular maintenance is important for any complex system, digital or mechanical.

I mean… hopefully the servers and junk are in dust free environments in general. Otherwise that’s a pretty ghetto data center XD
