Never seen Steam down this bad. Everything is down, can't even see the online store: https://store.steampowered.com https://store.steampowered.com , they're gonna lose a lot of money and maybe some market to other platforms. Sabotage?
- gchamonlive 7y agoThe timing doesn't fit. Not a holiday sale up, just a THQ Nordic sale, if I remember right, and a small bunch of games... if someone wanted valve to bleed, they would have timed the attack better. I believe this to be just a technical mishap. Steam store was responding with an error, now it just times out, meaning they took down the load balancer and cdn for the site to prevent collateral DDOS (when people keep refreshing the page to see if the service is up again)
- XCSme 7y agoProbably during a sale the techinicians would be a lot more prepared for a possible downtime and ready to fix it, now it could be more of a surprise? But yeah, could also just be someone clicking the wrong button.
