Steam is down from 6-9pm Pacific tonight (Thursday)

[Chaotic42]

Wow, 6-9pm. What an awesome time to do maintenance. Not that it doesn't go down a lot anyway.

Just in case anyone tries to get some CoD going tonight.

To be fair, there's been a warning up on the website for about a month.

 

[Newbian]

Hey, even the devs need playing time.

How often do you visit the Steam website?

 

[Newbian]

Most games are still working so it doesn't really count.

Games that do not rely on Steam matchmaking services should remain playable.

Play a game that has a decent setup instead of those kinds of crappy matching systems.

 

[BeauJangles]

Stupid time to take everything down.

 

[Tristicus]

Rage!

 

[Gothgar]

DOOOOOM DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

doom

Exactly.

At least Mass Effect 1 still works, up until some horrible bug strikes.

 

[TheBlackOut]

Really, why not like 1am-4am or something? :S

 

[Tristicus]

That would be logical.

 

[zerocool84]

I'm busy playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 so this doesn't kill me.

 

[BeauJangles]

Why not 3 - 6 am PST on a Wednesday or something?

 

[SEAL62505]

Piss me off... I guess I am a CoD addict... Maybe I should go to bed early for once...

 

[SEAL62505]

The banner is no longer displayed, yet my stuff still doesn't work...

 

[Ika]

Hmm, that explains why my Friends list was down for a few hours today.

 

[idiotekniQues]

still played a bunch of BFBC2 beta.

 

[KeithTalent]

No worries here, I played CS:S.

[GodlessAstronomer]

It's always 6-9pm somewhere.

 

[Chaotic42]

It's always 6-9pm somewhere.

True, but something like 2am Pacfic would affect a lot fewer people.

 

[Skott]

It didn't effect my Tropico 3 gaming last night. <g>

 

[Clinkster]

Why not 3 - 6 am PST on a Wednesday or something?

Because 3 hours really isn't going to kill you.

 

[Xcobra]

That would be logical.

TOO logical.
