>Are they just that fricking lazy?
POV: You are Steam. You completely dominate the PC market. Most games are only on your platform so players can literally go nowhere. Even for games on other stores, most players refuse to buy them elsewhere.
Would you spend however many thousands to beef up your infrastructure to have better maintenance? Would it increase player retention or get more players to buy on Steam? The answer is No. They'll be on Steam regardless.
Wow, geez, that's just a tragedy... say anon, why don't you try out the Epic Games Store? They're a really reliable company and Tim Sweeney is a really cool guy, everyone even gets free games from me!
Random thoughts. The best way to deal with bully is to rape him and take evidence of him covered in your stuff to threaten him to stop and not report you. Just keep raping him till he breaks. It not gay if you're the one doing the penetrating.
NOOOOOOOO
does not happen on my gaming system
neither on my emulator
all of my games..... gone...
I just installed 100 Gog games though
>the maintenance that happens every week
shouldn't they give a heads up
They do, it's every Tuesday at the same time
>the same thread every Tuesday
How the frick do they still have the servers go completely down during maintenance? Are they just that fricking lazy?

Generally it's a lot easier to do maintenance if you just turn the shit off during that time.
AWS doesn't do that.
Gaben is a lazy and fat but he's also got an army of simps
AWS does go down time to time though.
Not too long ago League of Legends was down and it uses AWS.
server/mmo maintenance involve rebooting the servers
how do you have servers online while they're still booting
a backup
I would surely hope steam has their shit backed up, just switch to the backup servers
that presents a security issue then
>spin up new server
>use a load balancer to redirect traffic to new server
>destroy old server
moron
I just don't get why it seems longer and longer every time now.
>interrupted this time co-oping a game with two friends
Frick's sake.
GIVE ME BACK MY GAMES OR I START BLASTING
AUTISM! Many such cases!
Time to become an Epic Games Store chad
Tim made a broken storefront first
Steam is learning from the best
>ITS OVER STEAMBROS
My EGS client never does this btw. Feels good to be an EpicChad
Can't wait for steamies to damage control and suck off Gaben some more
Thousands of dollars and hours, gone...
I whish I bought more physcial media
I guess I didn't own my games after all....
I was not expecting the leather glove. Kek. Who is this kewl guy?

Wow, geez, that's just a tragedy... say anon, why don't you try out the Epic Games Store? They're a really reliable company and Tim Sweeney is a really cool guy, everyone even gets free games from me!
i cant fricking breathe
I think it's actually broken for real this time tho...

It's back btw
I don't suck off any company including steam but I gotta say, feels good not to use some shitty obscure platform lel. Seethe more
MY FRICKING COOP GAME JUST CRASHED AND I CANT PLAY ANYMORE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Tim was right, steam is finished
What is steams DEI score?
Wouldn't it make more sense to do maintenance late at night when less people are playing?
>americans
>people
that would mean that steam devs have to work late night every tuesday
and what are the players gonna do? go to epic or something? lol
WE ARE SO FRICKING BACK BROS
No we're not you ass
I still don't know for how much time do I have to wait until the maintenance is over. I just don't play on tuesdays anymore.

>he actually doesn't know
>Helldivers session interrupted
