steam is shitting itself, probably because it's christmas day

[QUOTE=Trixil;49387254]steam is shitting itself, probably because it's christmas day[/QUOTE] Yep. Trying to register a wallet code, isn't even loading an error, it just stops loading.

Cant even log into the client

Rest in peace Steam's servers

Wow steam servers getting fucked hard today, guess a lot of people got steam cards

No its script kiddies DDoSing the service because its Christmas and no one loves them. *edit* It's up now.

I buy three games off my wishlist once I finally register that wallet card and I get these specific two cards in my inventory [t]http://i.imgur.com/CBjFAAH.png[/t]

is the winter sale supposed to change to a christmas sale today?

The Steam website keeps logging me out and I can't use the client since I'm visiting my relatives for the holidays. Also there's some weird "Admin" tab right below my account details while I'm logged in, is it there for anyone else? It lets you change to a beta version of the site but I can't see any major differences. [editline]Edited:[/editline] The admin thing disappeared now, I can't remember exactly what it had but there was at least some performance information. You can still see the beta website by adding "/?beta=1" to the end of the URL. [editline]Edited:[/editline] It's back, nothing that interesting, it lets you flush the homepage, change to the beta thingy and see a bunch of performance data.

The servers are pretty pounded right now

what are gems

[QUOTE=Kommodore;49388073]what are gems[/QUOTE] Stuff with which you could place bids in steam auction last year (FAQ on this page as well) [url]http://steamcommunity.com/auction[/url] Now you can create booster packs with them [url]http://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/boostercreator/[/url] Or sell them [url]http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/753-Sack%20of%20Gems[/url]

steam is acting wierd, it's showing up in all kinds of languages in the store page... Russian, spanish and so on and it's always random. And I found out that I am in a different account everytime I visit a page so this is very weird it also changes the currency every time!!!

i keep getting russian and finnish, my other friend keeps getting polish :v:

Oh wow there is a pretty big exploit going on, if you click on your account details while steam is showing you logged in as someone else, you get to see their account details (steam username, email, part of the phone number, paypal adress)

Valve has royally fucked up and broke their caching and/or database. [t]http://horobox.co.uk/u/reag/2015-12-25_20-22-48.png[/t][t]http://horobox.co.uk/u/reag/2015-12-25_20-23-11.png[/t] [URL]https://store.steampowered.com/account/[/URL] [URL]http://store.steampowered.com/steamaccount/addfunds[/URL] You get a random persons account, not your own. Yes, you can actually change their settings and yes, if you buy funds it goes into their account.

Whenever I enter the Steam store, I get random languages every time, whenever I enter a store page for a game, it almost seems like I'm logged in on another users account? What the fuck.

[QUOTE=Kommodore;49388073]what are gems[/QUOTE] useless

I just went to buy something and saw someone else's full contact information. Thankfully their credit card information wasn't there but Valve not protecting the rest of that is still absolutely horrible. Someone could potentially use this information to get a password reset on other services from a clueless CSR that isn't trained to spot social engineering attempts.

I really hope they fix this quickly.

I recommend if you can, remove any pre-set payment settings you have, people can actually buy using your settings. If you have paypal or a credit card linked, try to remove it as soon as you can.

One can change emails and phone numbers, amazing.

Jesus fuck what a disaster. How can you fuck up this badly?

Steam is expiriencing a mental breakdown. Actually, this is kinda horrible.

I'm now getting an Error Code

I can't add things to the cart anymore, looks like they completely turned off the ability to buy things. Wonder how many people have my name, address, and phone number by now?

How did Valve manage to fuck up so hard, though?

Some fuck just tried to change my email, thank god it still needs confirmation to do it.

My steam homepage is rapidly alternating between Japanese and Polish
