[QUOTE=Smugleaf;38968740]Fucking Valve, my ISP is charging me like two bucks a minute attempting to connect to chat, now I see the geniuses gave us a Christmas present.

What I'm trying to say; Steam Community broke.[/QUOTE]

I think it is time to get a better ISP

Hi, 600+ guests, Steam is being overloaded, most likely, just wait it out. Everyone is trying to redeem Steam gift cards then buying games they want, their servers are toast.

Don't be so melodramatic, everyone has server issues. Especially when there are ~3-5 million people on.

Dude I just launched GTA IV no problems. If you can't use offline mode your doing it wrong you have to have launched all of your installed games while online, to play offline. Offline works great, I don't need internet to login or anything.

Just gotta wait for Valve to fix it. so we can get connected to steam again....

It's Christmas, don't get too excited.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get it back up today.

It's not about the games.
I use Steam mostly as IM client.

[🦇Pachira🦇]

Got back up

[Brochacho]

What's going on?

I was too busy opening presents so I guess I missed when it went down :v:

[Splash Attack]

I stand corrected.

Large amounts of money are involved, of course downtime would be brief.
