[QUOTE=Jelman;51573438]No proof this is a DDOS by these guys. Valve could have fucked themselves over internally somehow[/QUOTE] Outage aside, we've known that for years.
[QUOTE=Jelman;51573407][url]https://steamstat.us/[/url] Make your own assumptions[/QUOTE] cool stuff

[QUOTE=Stargatius;51573544][url]https://twitter.com/PhantomNations/status/812339168273715200[/url] now there is[/QUOTE] Did they say that before or after it went down?
[QUOTE=Vikky;51573550]Did they say that before or after it went down?[/QUOTE] After, so not really proof at all.

Wow that sure showed them who's leet huh guys xd What's even the point. [editline]23rd December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Aw3s0m3n3ss;51307837][IMG]https://files.catbox.moe/65tnwg.png[/IMG] I'm pretty sure he's just shitposting by now. I find it hard to believe this kid can even do anything, let alone take down steam.[/QUOTE] What an edgy brat :v:
Don't a lot of these people end up in jail, you'd think they'd learn that it isn't worth it for a few "lulz"
[QUOTE=Jelman;51573390]Why bump this thread? The outage is unlikely to be DDOS at all considering everything is fucking dead, but if it IS ddos then its unlikely to be the same guys[/QUOTE] Saw it high up in the popular threads and didn't check when was the last post made. Oops.
how about now?
The sales usually don't bring down community do they? I can't get on friends or anything
[QUOTE=sipderbat;51573734]how about now?[/QUOTE] Still down for me. [editline]23rd December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Nemisis116;51573742]The sales usually don't bring down community do they? I can't get on friends or anything[/QUOTE] Sales normally affect just about everything in my experience but you can usually download stuff which I can't do at the minute.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;51573742]The sales usually don't bring down community do they? I can't get on friends or anything[/QUOTE] They occasionally do but not for nearly this long. I lost my connection two hours ago (to the minute coincidentally) and it's still not back.
oh boy [img]http://puu.sh/sYTvL/bffec4d3d1.png[/img] hi again reddit
Guy's I've figured it out. The 3 million AUD fine caused valve to shut down steam out of anger [url]http://www.smh.com.au/business/media-and-marketing/video-games-website-steam-fined-3-million-for-refusing-refunds-20161223-gthdux.html[/url] [editline]23rd December 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=AlexGT;51573799]oh boy [img]http://puu.sh/sYTvL/bffec4d3d1.png[/img] hi again reddit[/QUOTE] or google
It's not like they're going to get any extra info from this thread though. #steam seems to be the largest gathering about it. As up to date as it gets.
Its so weird to browse steam client right now. Makes you realize - whole client is just a brain-dead application which has absolutely no function without internet.
boy this is gonna take awhile in the mean time feel free to direct all questions and complaints about the outage [url=https://facepunch.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=205107]HERE[/url]

[QUOTE=arleitiss;51573868]Its so weird to browse steam client right now. Makes you realize - whole client is just a brain-dead application which has absolutely no function without internet.[/QUOTE] Ever since it moved on from being purely a way to launch digitally-purchased copies of HL2, Steam has always been a web browser wrapped up as an app with a friends list and game-launching abilities added on.
it's not DDoS.
[QUOTE=jamie1130;51573952]it's not DDoS.[/QUOTE] we don't know what it is so there's no point in claiming it is or isn't something unless you have insider information
[QUOTE=Map in a box;51573956]we don't know what it is so there's no point in claiming it is or isn't something unless you have insider information[/QUOTE] Seems too powerful and disruptive to all valve services across the board to be a DDOS tbh. Also the fact dota2.com and counterstrike.net and valvesoftware.com died kinda indicate its either not a DDoS or its extremely fucking powerful and killed the box with all those websites
No no no, why is this thread at the top? Make another one if there's a new issue, but don't mislead everyone by reading this one now.
the ddos this thread is about kept steam down for like 30 seconds [QUOTE=Jelman;51573967]Seems too powerful and disruptive to all valve services across the board to be a DDOS tbh. Also the fact dota2.com and counterstrike.net and valvesoftware.com died kinda indicate its either not a DDoS or its extremely fucking powerful and killed the box with all those websites[/QUOTE] no, valve just has everything interlinked. this was witnessed especially when steam was acting fucky when the dota 700 update was announced.
[QUOTE=Noi;51573980]Maybe their electricity/internet just went down completely.[/QUOTE] Don't they have some sort of power reserve like a backup generator?
At least they're not nearly even half as obnoxious as what Le Epic Lulzsec xDDDDD was. Remember that shit?

this is the FINAL straw moving to ORIGIN
I honestly don't get why these sorts of groups are allowed to remain a presence on social media, Twitter get your shit together.
