2013 Steam Holiday Sale! SALE IS OVER

[futurefields]

Is anybody else having issues with Steam right now? I am having problems accessing store, community, etc... they seem to be kind of off and on.

 

[Seba]

Must be your connection. Nobody else said anything about that in this thread.

:embarrassed:

 

[Staples]

No, Steam is definitely getting pounded. Doesn't even come up. Sucks because I bought some games for gifts and they can not be claimed.

 

[ElFenix]

steam getting hammered right now

I would not want to be the on-call guy at Valve today.

Yeah, the DDOSed themselves. Valve friend says he got 1500 alerts.
I would not want to be on pager duty this week.

[IEC]

Lol. Can't access the website or the store from my client.

Just came across this

FREE LEFT 4 DEAD 2 for Christmas !!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/550/

Sweet, I have in on 360 but will certainly grab it for free on PC as well - that is if the Steam servers ever come back from being crushed.

 

[zinfamous]

Dragonborn 33% off
Hearthfire 50% off
Dawnguard 50% off

wow. that's just turrible. :|

 

[Seba]

It seems that this sale all DLC's (not only Skyrim DLC's) have lousy discounts - lower percent off than the game itself.

 

[KingstonU]

Tomb Raider for $4.99 at Amazon! Isn't that the cheapest yet?

Though by the time I play this the Definitive Edition might be on sale, or that only a console thing?

 

[JamesV]

There isn't going to be anymore community choice votes? Didn't they used to run those the whole sale?

Planned on getting a bunch of cards from that...

My *guess* is that they're turning some stuff off to help with the server overload.

L4D2 is killing the servers like this?

Highly doubt it.
While there made be more load because of the free offer, it shouldn't tank most of what steam offers... I am betting on hardware issues, or DDoS attacks.

 

[Yreka]

Store is back /w community choice

 

[steelodon]

only 25+?

i think i have 150+

I'm still trying to purchase Trials Evolution Gold! Servers are not being friendly!!

 

[steelodon]

Wolf Among Us is actually free on XBOX Live today!

 

[Phynaz]

Highly doubt it.

The last time Steam stats updated they were pushing 2tbs. It's exactly what is killing it.

Not for me on the mobile app. It's been down all day

edit: after several refreshes the page at least started working on my laptop

 

[Imp]

Damn. COD: Ghosts for $20 off.

LoD2 is better than the first, weapon wise. Levels are more interesting and complex but more meh -- think they ported over all of LoD1 levels. Regardless, won't play it anymore because of the annoying pricks.

 

[Sunburn74]

Agreed. When they made it cheap, the game became flooded with the under 12 years old population. At free, I shudder to think who will populate the game now.

 

[Pheran]

Amazon has Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon right now for $5, but the DRM is listed as "Uplay". Does this mean it will just be on Steam with Uplay integration, or will this require some other annoying game client?

 

[steelodon]

What do you guys thinks of Trials Evolution?
