Sony has confirmed LittleBigPlanet's servers have been taken offline, after fans contacted Eurogamer concerned that community features for the franchise had been impacted by repeated and ongoing DDOS attacks.
Eurogamer contacted PlayStation about the issue yesterday but has not had a response. This morning, Sony's own external development support studio XDEV tweeted to confirm the downtime amid "technical issues".
Speaking to me over the course of this week, LittleBigPlanet fans have said the franchise's servers have been the target of a DDOS campaign orchestrated by an individual unhappy with Sony's treatment of the franchise.
