File: cli/latest/reference/gamelift/terminate-game-session.md

Summary

Added documentation about PlayerGatewayStatus limitations and regional availability

Security assessment

The change documents PlayerGatewayStatus behavior and references DDoS protection through player gateway routing. While this adds security-related documentation about mitigating DDoS risks, there is no evidence this addresses a specific active security vulnerability.
