PSN Down Until May 31st…Forgive me, but “So what?”

So according to this article on Kotaku, the PSN will likely be down until May 31st (otherwise known as “a week before E3” - when they were probably going to release a new system update anyway).
It’s pretty shocking that the network is going to be down for that long (six weeks is a long time in the gaming world), but you know what’s more shocking? This weird response that people are having to it.
