The 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)
