Pardon our dust, as Eurogamer's comments system gets some maintenance

Hey everyone, Tom here. We're doing a bit of work this week on Eurogamer's comments section, which will mean a short period when the ability to leave a comment will be paused.

Do not worry if you cannot leave a comment during this time! You have not been banned. (Unless you are banned, in which case, do not worry either - for you it's business as usual.)

We're changing our comments software behind the scenes, is the gist of it. For you, little should change - your user accounts, post history and Likes will be ported over. It's this porting work that's going to take a bit of time (I'm told there are 9.7m comments to bring over, which is quite a lot!) so do bear with us and accept our apologies for this brief intermission.

We're expecting the commenting pause to begin today, Wednesday 30th, and last until tomorrow, Thursday 31st.

Hope to see you in the (new) comments soon - and thanks, as always, for reading.
