The outage appears to be worldwide.
It's not just you: Steam is down. As far as we can tell, it's down worldwide (a contact in Germany confirmed that it's down there), both the store and services, meaning that some of your single-player games won't work unless you go into offline mode. (I just tried to fire up Fallout 4 and it's a no-go; Escape Goat 2, on other hand, works fine, albeit without access to cloud saves.)
We don't know what's going on at this point, but I've emailed Valve for more information and will update when the situation changes. Hopefully, we'll be able to dive back into the Steam Winter Sale soon.
As long as Origin is up I’m Good.
Gonna play some serious Battlefield 1 tonight.
You might enjoy Phantasmagoria . . . it is a mystery puzzle going through an old mansion.
Another one that is new of the same type is Goetia.
I had a SSG (Single Squirrel Generator) and the dog put it out of commission.

He probably thinks you don’t even know what Steam is. If so, an opportunity for Mom to have some fun...
And if you’re afraid of the environmental impact that coal has, start producing LNG which is a clean burning fuel.
He has explained about Steam. I’m just glad he’s going to do his wash: he has a week’s worth saved up.
“Besides Free Republic being slow,”
No problems with FR here. iMac/Safari. Maybe it’s the Solar storm.
That's a good thing at my house, too much steam makes my radiators knock.........
Steam is a computer application which allows one to easily purchase, download, update and launch computer games. The idea is its safer and easier than trying to buy and download games on the wilds of the Internet.
My younger son was able to get onto Steam just moments ago, with online games working and all (and yes he has done his morning chores already).
This happens every year because of the sale, as well as me buying a bunch of games I never have time to play.
is there really a game called escape goat 2?
Blame the Russians.
We have a free republic gamer group on Steam.
What’s it called? Couldn’t find it after a search.
Interesting - they just divested a couple of games D&D online and LOTR online to another company and that transition happened this week with a couple downtimes to do server work. While those games have been up, I wonder if it is related in some way.
It’s steam group: Free Republic Gamers
