Run for your lives: steampowered.com is down

[MrWizard6600]

Steam is down. You know, that site that's backed by a 2nd and 3rd fleets of Akamai's servers?

Down.

Run for your lives.

hahaha, I dont actually know if the front-end that is steampowered.com is down, i'd wager their DL service, which is the service backed by akamai, is still up and running. Still its funny to see a service who's whole business model, worth billions, being taken down. Wheres the redundancy valve?

Perhaps it was maintenance?

We didn't have any maintenance, and I see no evidence of the servers being down at the time of MrWizard's post.

Would you mind clarifying who you mean when you say 'we'?

By "we", I mean me and the rest of the guys on the Steam team.
