Well, at least Steam isn't leaking random user's personal information due to an over-agressive cache this year.

Plug your controller in via USB to activate the Steam Link (or plug in a wireless mouse and keyboard if you have one), then you'll go to the settings on the device. Find bluetooth, and you'll see the DS4 there listed if you put it on pairing mode (share and the PS button, it'll blink).
From there you just need to pair it and it'll be good to go and the link should turn on when you press the PS button from then on.
It's not even noon EST on day two, this could get pearshaped real fast
Thanks for the info shared.
Entirely depends on the game.

Np. Been using my Steam Link with a Wii U controller in a similar matter (and yes, it's picked up natively. Love my job little box though since changing providers I've not been able to use it wired for some reason...
Anywho when Steam comes around I plan on getting that Microsoft RTS bundle to round out the game I'm missing from it.

you cant blame steam/valve for a DDOS attack
You guys think that's it...?
Valve is known for having some rather bad infrastructure when the reasons behind such things occur, DDOS or not
pretty done

Same. I'm buying when I get out of work. Let's hope this isn't like the time I heard Dragons Dogma was amazing.
Well, no, it isn't entirely their fault, but at the same time it's hard to disassociate the whole thing. Lots of people haven't been too happy with the sales for a while now, then this happens, it all gets mixed up and the end result is costumers feeling unsatisfied.
But oh well, I'm sorry, I've just been very salty with Steam for a while now. Even before they changed the sales, it was the whole thing about not allowing people from South America and few other regions to gift games because of the pricing difference. I 'get it', and I know it used to be exploited, but basically I enjoyed gifting stuff to friends and even giving stuff away here on GAF when the sales rolled around and now I just can't, because I live in Brazil.
Sure, we get cheaper-ish games, and I'm not complaining about that, but I don't even have an alternative. There's no "pay more and be able to gift" option or something like that, so just gotta accept that I'm locked of interacting with <everyone else in the world> because of their rules. Bleh.

All your games are gone.
Man, we sure are in a "it isn't Steam's fault!" roll today. Steam is down! But it isn't Steam's fault! It's the evil DDoSers!
You're buying games on Steam, suddenly you can't buy games on Steam the way you used to! But it isn't Steam's fault! It's all the evil publishers and Steam had no say whatsoever on it! Nope!
Also, I'm not sure what's so funny about that post. I mean, I guess complaining that a service works in a way that makes a country completely isolated from the global community makes you laugh? I sure don't think it's funny ,and I'm not happy about it and I sure have been buying a lot less on Steam ever since things became this way, but yeah...

So youre saying that it is steams fault? Like Valve wanted this to happen?
You sound angry with steam/valve for some reason.
Stumpokapow
listen to the mad man
To be fair Steam being down is a lot better than the time Steam just leaked my personal data to strangers around the world for 8 hours and then told me "nah don't worry about it"
I'd blame them for not letting the word out on what's happening. I mean, yeah, Valve isn't known for its outstanding communication ability but...

Could be worse, could have had a PSN account leaked.

RIP Steam.
Yeah, it's a relaxing exploration game. I really enjoyed it. Lots of details hidden in the background, and really appealing to the eye.
edit: top of the page, buy Xanadu Next when steam comes back
Why isn't it 50% off? I'll buy XN in the spring, I guess.
Did anything come from that? Like did you have to cancel credit cards and stuff?
but like who actually cares? It's not like they don't know steam is down. They're obviously working to get it up again.
