They're uploading HL3 to Steam for the biggest Christmas surprise ever, that's why it's down!

A Christmas miracle...

Steem ded

 

[backdrifter]

8 games bought so far this sale. Only PC game extensively played is Rogue Legacy that I'd put 20 hours into before the sale even started...

 

[Mikey Jr.]

So steam is down right..... Not just me?

I dont think I have ever seen steam down before.

This made my day.

I dont think I have ever seen steam down before.

Buried under a wave of free L4D2

Spoiler

and bad rats.

As rich as Valve is they ought have at least a couple dozen backup servers for these occasions. Really hope no group saw an opportunity to pounce and is now DDOSing Steam's servers...

Servers gave out from the load's weight.

 

[masterkajo]

Oh steam is down. I go away for a day and then this. I am serisouly suffering from steam withdrawal right now.

Not down, just really really hammered by people.

This is a better representation of what he is doing:

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Steam store is working "fine"... just community features like gifting and inventory argh. I got gifts to exchange!

 

[wazoo]

If l4d2 for free broke steam hl3 for free will break the space continuum

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Activating a from another retailer doesn't give you snowglobe cards does it? Cause Skyrim is the same price on Amazon and I have credit there...

 

[donny2112]

The desktop app wasn't working for me earlier, but could login through the browser to get L4D2. Now that's down, too.

VOLVO GIVE STEAM PLZ ༼ つ_༽つ

 

[Tagyhag]

I got a free Payday 2 thanks to a random Youtube video that was hiding codes, can't complain.

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Yeah one minute it works well and then another its all errors.

 

[Coldsun]

Nope. The money has to be spent on the steam store directly to get a snowglobe.

 

[heliconsoul]

KoF and Shelter on flash sale and steam shits the bed. Gaben pls..........

 

[Karl2177]

Has anybody played Kairo. I really like the look of it and want an opinion of someone who has played it.

Error Code: -118

Unable to connect to server. Server may be offline or you may not be connected to the internet.

 

[matmanx1]

Christmas killed Steam!! Oh well, I don't think anything I wanted was on sale today anyway.

 

[Turfster]

I got a free Payday 2 thanks to a random Youtube video that was hiding codes, can't complain.

What? People are doing this now?

 

[zychi]

i've been downloading from steam for a solid two hours, is it just the store thats down?

 

[denx]

Thread's name is awfully appropriate right now.

 

[Ibuki]

i've been downloading from steam for a solid two hours, is it just the store thats down?

The store and the community on my end. So far redeeming keys and downloading games works fine.

 

[theRizzle]

Is it fixed yet?

 

[I H8 Memes]

Finally decided to give Max Payne 3 a try. Forgot I didnt crack it yet. Cant log into Rockstar social club and cant even close the game since I cant log into Rockstar social club.

If a game uses Rockstar Social club, Uplay, or Origin, go get a crack for it people. 10 years from now you will still have the cracks that allow you to play your games. Whereas Rockstar Social Club, Uplay, and Origin are about as likely to still be around as GFWL is.

 

[legend166]

I just woke up and I'm trying to look at the daily deals but Steam won't load. Can someone give me a heads up?

 

[DukeBobby]

Steam being down gives us the opportunity to spend time with our loved ones.

 

[Ezalc]

Van Helsing wasn't on sale yet right? I'm kind of in the mood for a top down Diablo-ish game.

 

[EVOL 100%]

Error Code: -118

I have no idea how this is relevant but it made me laugh so there.

Fuck this shit I'm sleeping. Goo'bye KOF, it's nice not playing you

[astrogamer]

So the store still down. Time to get through my backlog

 

[cjdunn]

I don't want to buy "Error Code: -324"!

 

[TheOohChild]

If I keep mashing the Store button, will it make Steam work better?

 

[nightstorm]

Is that happen every Christmas ?

 

[ArynCrinn]

Valve needs to be corrected.

I was able to make a screenshot from the server load page ( http://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/ ) while the site was still somewhat available:

Dat steep curve.

My loves ones are -xx% signs.
