Cannot connect to Steam or Steam forums?

me to. i've just bough CoD4 on steam and i had DL'd 38% when the servers went down.
been like this for about an hour!
 
Frikking daft, I can't even get it into offline mode for a bit off HL2 or Darwinia. Knew there was a bad side to steam.
 
I hate steam, havent been able to play games for months now, just crashes my computer after a few minutes. Hope this is some sort of update to the steam software/engine.
 
steam usually works just fine for me, with only the occasional glitch.

today is an unprecedented period of downtime.
 
This is the first time in 3 years I've never been able to play a game (HL2:Ep1) because the Steam servers were down.

Doens't stop me being annoyed about it though :mad:
 
Thats a bit OTT they're uptime must be 99.9% you can't complain about that.

This has never affected my non-Steam games.


Don't get me wrong, I think Steam has on the whole been a good excercise in copy protection, but it still can be inconvenient for the end-user, as most CP mechanisms are. Then the pirates just don't care.

I'm all for hardware dongles in my game boxes.
