They supposedly tried to take down steam a few days ago and it only went down for 5 minutes. Don't know if it's true or not (the attack coulda just been some bullshyt) but it only went down for 5 minutes breh

So you don't know if they got hit or not and if it was to the same extent as what just happened here??


Here lemme help you.

Steam was taken offline for about an hour back in January due to some DDOs attack. To what extent was it??

Plus you're forgetting this recent DDos crap was done on Christmas day, a day that's prone to having connection issues because of a huge influx of new users on PS3/PS4/Vita and Xbox 360/Xbox One. They're not even remotely comparable .

@Fatboi1

Even if steam is down, you don't need to steam to play games online on the PC. That's the whole problem with a centralized system, it is prone to attacks and can be taken down. If you can't log into steam...you have options.

Plus, steam has been proven to be much more resistant to attacks than whatever Microsoft and especially Sony has up for their games. It's steam's ONLY business model, it can't be shut down for a long time...it could be disastrous for them.

They know console gamers will keep coming back like a battered woman, no point in talking sense to them as to the obvious disadvantages they have with the always online console.

Neither does the PS4/XB1 and why are you telling me that for?? I have Steam .

How come I was able to play games offline on the PS4 and Xbox 1?? You're taking some example of a online only game and using it as the rule i.e. (Destiny, NBA 2k etc.)


The people who claim they can't play games at all were folks who probably didn't authorize their PS4/XB1 as primary before it went down. You're talking about always online console when that's not even a factual statement. The Xbox 1 and PS4 aren't "always online" so idk why you're even bringing up some misinformation up. I have three PS4s up and one time my bro's PS4 couldnt' play his digital games because of what I mentioned while I was fine playing my digital games.

Breh I'm sorry to break the news to you, but you don't need to log in to steam to play online on the pc.

You DO have to log in to psn/Xbox live to play online. You basically have no argument and started talking about offline gaming

Upgraded security and better rerouting when problems occur.

I restarted Steam in offline mode and tried to play Team Fortress 2...

You said you don't need to login to steam to PLAY ONLINE??!?!

Might want to edit that. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant you don't need to be logged onto steam to LAUNCH your games.

I need to be logged in to play online with people??
