[QUOTE=Uberpro;49389868]I just found out about this an I'm a bit confused. Why can't you login to your own account, what harm does that cause?[/QUOTE] The theory is that if you log into your account then your details are loaded into this cache which is supposedly not working and therefore someone else could well end up seeing your account. It's unknown if this is true or not, nobody knows. Most of the speculation here is just that, speculation. One thing I noticed is that everytime I refreshed I was getting one of two accounts. One was in Russian and the other was English. My phone would get the same two accounts if it was also connected to wifi. If I disabled the wifi and tried via 3G I'd get a one of three different accounts. Friends living nearby have verified that they get shown the same 'set' of accounts, and it seems to be similar based on where you are.
That shit's spooking the crap out of me. And holy shit the amount of people viewing the thread.
is it fixed yet
[QUOTE=CyberSnark;49389904]again, what do you want them to say? they have actual staff for steam specifically and they advertise it on their jobs page. at this point, its safe to be that one system engineer just fucked up.[/QUOTE] What do you want them to do, improve? Pff, get the fuck outta here
[QUOTE=Electrocuter;49389918]Because EA and PSN/Sony have had worse and they didn't suffer anything.[/QUOTE] They suffered by giving free games to their users who might have otherwise bought them. he's advocating steam not give any compensation for this at all, which is hilariously anti consumer
i've been on steam for the past hour and a half trying to get on the damn store! why won't it work!? oh well, at least i managed to remove my paypal on steam.
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49389935]What do you want them to do, improve? Pff, get the fuck outta here[/QUOTE] of course they have to improve, but if this is the fault of one system engineer, mistakes fucking happen as catastrophic and unjustifiable as they are, they happen
[QUOTE=Rowtree;49389932]is it fixed yet[/QUOTE] [video]https://youtu.be/Xrne2-gOoqU[/video] they shutted down the store tho

[QUOTE=KOS-MOS;49389947]The most I've ever seen for a thread. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TkaNm3O.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] crysis 2 crysis 2 was so much worse
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49389935]What do you want them to do, improve? Pff, get the fuck outta here[/QUOTE] when monopolies come into play, improvement doesn't matter, because everyone is already locked into using your service the way modern PC gaming works, unless it's an indie game, you're shit out of luck if you want to actually own your game. otherwise, you need to buy it on steam
[QUOTE=Rika-chan;49389922]Yes, give me $20 on all 5 of my accounts Thanks Volvo[/QUOTE] I have over 20 alts, so I'd be happy if they did it.
[QUOTE=Hogie bear;49389864]Then what was that transaction posted a while ago then?[/QUOTE] literally anyone can replace text [img]http://i.imgur.com/tBZlkK8.jpg[/img] literally the easiest thing ever
[QUOTE=KOS-MOS;49389947]The most I've ever seen for a thread. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/TkaNm3O.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Didn't the Fappening get more than this?
[QUOTE=343N;49389943]of course they have to improve, but if this is the fault of one system engineer, mistakes fucking happen as catastrophic and unjustifiable as they are, they happen[/QUOTE] and catastrophic, unjustifiable mistakes should result in compensation for the effected users. in this case, being everyone.
Well shit I picked a good time to play some console games instead for once.
[QUOTE=J!NX;49389955]literally anyone can replace text [img]http://i.imgur.com/tBZlkK8.jpg[/img] literally the easiest thing ever[/QUOTE] Yeah, I get what you mean, but why would he say it got refunded afterword? If he really wanted to fuck with people he'd just leave it at that?
[QUOTE=J!NX;49389955]literally anyone can replace text [img]http://i.imgur.com/tBZlkK8.jpg[/img] literally the easiest thing ever[/QUOTE] J!nx is not really a swell guy [sp] joking, you're pretty swell.[/sp]
[QUOTE=343N;49389951]crysis 2 crysis 2 was so much worse[/QUOTE] Didn't the crysis 2 leak actually crash FP? or am I thinking of some other event like it?
[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49389935]What do you want them to do, improve? Pff, get the fuck outta here[/QUOTE] valve have an effective monopoly on the digital distribution platform, and just like any other business when you have an effective monopoly, improving your service is normally not something you'd do. Granted, we'd all love to see Steam improve, and hopefully this shake in confidence with the system will spark Valve to focus more on their consumer base, don't forget that valve are just a business that want to make money, they probably won't really want to waste money improving a service which already works.
[QUOTE=Starlight 456;49389963]and catastrophic, unjustifiable mistakes should result in compensation for the effected users. in this case, being everyone.[/QUOTE] that's not my point, i know we should get compensation but it's been an hour
[QUOTE=Hogie bear;49389965]Yeah, I get what you mean, but why would he say it got refunded afterword? If he really wanted to fuck with people he'd just leave it at that?[/QUOTE] Well if you're gonna look at it from an angle to fuck with people, it's just a genius move to fuck with people even more so it looks realistic. Idk man
At least it didn't go full Steam Family Sharing and let other users play your games.
[QUOTE=Starlight 456;49389968]Didn't the crysis 2 leak actually crash FP? or am I thinking of some other event like it?[/QUOTE] FP was struggling pretty hard from the amount of viewers when the mod version Black Mesa was released.
[QUOTE=Hogie bear;49389965]Yeah, I get what you mean, but why would he say it got refunded afterword? If he really wanted to fuck with people he'd just leave it at that?[/QUOTE] I'm not saying it didn't happen but he could probably just be covering his ass for all you know
What is it with Christmas and shit going wrong with gaming services? I know previous years have more been down to other people being assholes (I.E. DDoSing PSN/XBL), so does this mean the system is now aware and because nothing has happened on other services so far steam's skynet AI has decided to take the fall this year.
[QUOTE=343N;49389973]that's not my point, i know we should get compensation but it's been an hour[/QUOTE] oh, sorry. I guess I misunderstood your post, thought you were saying "shit happens, deal with it" :v:
[QUOTE=t h e;49389975]Well if you're gonna look at it from an angle to fuck with people, it's just a genius move to fuck with people even more so it looks realistic. Idk man[/QUOTE] Yeah I guess you're right. Man, this whole thing is just a clusterfuck lmao.
So from what I can tell from the thread, it was 'only' a visual bug and no account information can be changed / nothing can be bought?
[QUOTE=doomevil;49389961]Didn't the Fappening get more than this?[/QUOTE] Yup, just shy of 10K on a single thread.
