I wish there was a game as good as CSS from an alternative developer.

It's days like this that make me want to quit PC gaming in favour of consoles.

Tbh what a n00b operation they currently have. Having to comunicate with a computer in america everytime you want to play a game you bought in £ from a high street shop...

Please check this Forum or Steam News for further updates.

Blame pirates, cheaters and finance, people ... Steam is a neccesary evil. Although why a power outage to just one area causes everyone around the world to be unable to log in means they need to decentralise it.

Really fancy a game of GMod 10 too...

we had that about half way up this page (unless your not set to max posts per page)

the whole 5 day thing is about the storm (ie could take 5 days to clear)
