I'm trying to look at the new weekly deals, but it just keeps saying 'sorry - the steam store is experiencing some heavy load right now'. Is there a price glitch on Barbie Dreamhouse Party or something?

Ah, that's why it keeps telling me the store is under heavy load and to try again.

Damn, is it Summer Sale already or what? I can't imagine why such a big amount of people would just randomly visit the Store page ...
A DDOS, maybe? That many people don't just visit Steam for no reason.

Any partiuclar reason why it's happened?
And yes, I'm another who found it very slow for the past 2 or 3 hours. 2 separate purchases got stuck in "pending" status and I ended up cancelling them 'case as I was impatient. Managed to get one through in the end but not the other.

Hmm, perhaps the servers are experiencing some serious lag and counting everyone trying to load the store multiple times as different users? If not... QUICK, everyone find out what game is having a pricing error before they fix it! :P

There was a stupid rumour going around that the Summer Sale was supposed to start today (completely forgetting the fact that it is still Spring). That might be one reason for the site struggling but I'm hedging my bets on DDoS since you would think folks would realize that was false after the first hour.

I doubt Steam doesn't have some form of DDoS protection, DoS attacks are easy to make, VERY EASY

Meh considering they have shit support, I wouldn't put it pass them to have a toaster running their site.

Seriously doubting any glitch or DDoS though, the number increased constantly, there is no spike anywhere.
Probably some communist country is now allowing Steam and it's silently launching there.

Well, Steam loves to glitch out right now...

Not a huge glitch! When the residen evil pack was for about $1 for New Zealanders... now THAT was a glitch

Quick! To the Steam mobile!
Also, to be a concurrent steam user you need to actually play something or just have the client open?

Something about an Australian comedy/romance movie

A suggestion of the movie Danny Deckchair that was meant to be posted to another thread.
Comment has been collapsed.
I watched the movie recently on Netflix and enjoyed it. I do not generally enjoy romances or comedies. The characters were well defined and likeable, the scenes were well done. The story was formulaic but very few movies aren't. I consider it time well spent and would have been happy even had I rented it from RedBox for a buck.

=0 My friend just bought two Batman games but it didn't Work =/. Steam really should add one more day to the sale or something ='(
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, that are called weekend deals, it they would add day it wouldn't be weekend...
Comment has been collapsed.
But well, he tried to buy it in the weekend, so they really should do this. I mean people are trying to give Valve money, but they can't due to technical problems. He isn't going to buy it, when it isn't on sale. This isn't usually happening, so I really think they could do something unusual and add another day to the sale.

Found the reason, I think... here and NZL
I'm seeing a new record here.
Giving you a 50% off coupon to Sparkle 2 Evo (that's all I have) if you find out WHY does this happen. It's valid until 9:17 PM here (it's about
half hour3 minutes1 minute10 seconds)Edit1: it's higher
Edit2: it's HIGHER
Update (Just in case you are wondering how many users were on Steam on 31 December, 1969 @ 4:00pm)
