exactly... basically the industry has concepts of SLAs (Service Level Agreements) , at the heart of every development project, even if they are 'informal' (ie just a tacit agreement with users) - this dictates, the cost/benefits/risks of outages, both planned (including maintenance windows) and unplanned.
this is how you decide on your strategies, and what the you are willing to spend on mitigating.
the idea that every projects cannot be offline , and is reputation risk ... is a gross over simplification.
C'yall...
Downloading after a Steam relog.
I'll have you know, Sir, that you are addressing the Interstellar Association of the Aged - why, some of us have been around since the Twentieth Century! That's, oh, I could have worked it out when I was younger.
If anyone is facing a long download then this might be worth a read:

Update 14 patch day - Surviving it, "The Hutton Way"
Patch Survival 101 (*NOTE this guide will NOT save you from slightly scary super swirly space stargoid shenanigans) The servers will be going down at around 7am UTC on the 29th. This is as advertised and "normal". This does NOT mean you can mash the update button YET. You WILL have a 2 hour...
I still have 3.5 hours of work...then 30 minutes travel...then 1 hour cooking/eating/cleaning...then Elite Dangerous: Thargoid Bubble Edition... (I assume, well I hope...)Got home from work an hour ago. Even left the PC on to catch the update while I was there.
Boy, do I feel foolish...
Naah, I'm about to go to bed since it's getting late.
finally founds the source of all the 1 star reviews

Especially when dealing with public expectations, if you're absolutely certain the job can be done in 6 hours, you still tell the public it will take 9. Or 12. It's called 'managing expectations'.
You can ALWAYS finish early, and even if the job took longer than 6 hours (say, 8 hours), you will STILL have exceeded expectations. Everyone is happy.
This is not rocket-science.....
