I just got kicked out of a game, and now back at Steam login. 16k+ reports on down doctor.

I pity their support staff, for an outage like this the shift must be hell.

Connection managers started dropping about one hour ago, and up to a few minutes ago there were one or two thousand people in-game. Now it's dropped to absolute 0, eerie :)

Just shows that anything can die for any such reason. I doubt this was a rollout of some-sort.

Yep! I'd love to see the write-up for an event with so wide an effect.

Could have been related to them rolling back the Summer Sale storefront, which just ended in Europe about an hour ago.
