If you had any issues with your online gaming, so did pretty much half of the internet. As per Forbes, Paul Tassi (Senior Contributor), it involves Cloudfare but was updated and confirmed not to be on Cloudflare, but instead a Level 3/Centurylink issue.

Cloudflare CTO John Graham-Cumming shared a statement:

“Today we saw a widespread Internet outage online that impacted many multiple providers. This was not a Cloudflare-specific outage. Level 3/CenturyLink was responsible for an outage that affected many Internet services, including Cloudflare. Cloudflare's automated systems detected the problem and routed around them, but the extent of the problem required manual intervention as well.”
