• If steam was hacked, and suddenly everything was FREE for five minutes, What would you do?

I wouldn't download anything. Not because the games would be removed and the players would probably get in trouble that did download, but because I'd feel really guilty about it. That's the main reason I don't pirate games, because I'd feel really guilty about it. I actually got banned a while back because I said that I felt guilty about pirating Terraria. As soon as I bought it I felt so much better.
I would miss it because i was to busy reading about it on facepunch
id Super Pack, Valve Complete Pack, Arma Complete Pack.
I would be sleeping that time. :(
Maybe CoD and such, but that's really because Activision doesn't deserve making money off it. I have way too much respect for the developers behind Skyrim, Deus Ex and so forth, to simply take away their profite. That's just cruel.

i'd be a good person and wait until valve fixed it and bought some games, then gabe would be like "man, you're a cool guy" and he would take me in as his son

Nothing. I'll probably be at school while everyone is getting free games
I will bump this thread with good reason. This happened to a friend of mine which I will not name. One day, his steam account was glitched to some extent, well, some things were broken and others were just different. According to him, he got some options within the community and whatnot that would seem like adminitstrative options. His games list also showed EVERY STEAM GAME. What did he do? Well, not too much really. He put about 100 of the games on download. The next day, everything was back to normal. He got an e-mail from Valve. They didn't tell him "fuck you, you stole our shit", they told him that they were sorry for the inconvenience, that this was an error on Valves side and that he got to keep the games he had added to his list as an apology. (The ones he had put on download) Before this incident, his account i would guess was worth about $250 Afterwards, his account was worth $1400

Most (or every company except for Valve I'd guess) would remove all the items. Good the person who got the administrative options (if they were) wasn't a kid or a person who loves to abuse power. Lot of things could've gone wrong.
Pretty lame that your friend didn't just report it to valve right away, I mean free games would be good in any other condition but valve is a cool company. Although i guess seeing all those games would make anyone want to abuse the system.
Cry. 403 ERRORS, 403 ERRORS EVERYWHERE.

Where's the I will now install all games gif when you need it?
I'd either download a handful of games I've wanted, or not do anything at all. I wouldn't want my account disabled or anything due to greed. [QUOTE=peaceful guy;33238490]Spiral Knights[/QUOTE] But that game is free
Wouldn't matter because the massive influx of steam downloads would certainly crash the servers or at least make it crawl down to 1 kb/s
Fuckin Quake 2. Nuthing else.
I would grab every Developer's Pack on Steam (like the Valve Complete Pack), and make my account worth as much as possible (maybe thousands). Then once Steam was back to normal, I'd sell the account to someone for hundreds.
I wouldn't because. i don't want to risk losing my steam account from that.
Knowing my luck? I'd go take a dump just before it starts and come back just as it ends. [editline]20th January 2012[/editline] Just like that time I waited 4 hours for the delivery guy, took a minute to go piss, and missed him...
