Steam Grand Prix Summer Sale 2019 - June 25th to July 9th | I live my life one sale at a time.
- Thread starter Uzzy
- Start date
yeah, I can get into the search on my phone app, but all details are "uninitialized"
its like half an hour of downtime lol
why are you guys acting like this is some huge inconvience
what you cant ever check in at any other point in the next few weeks, this is your only chance?
definitely that, but for every page that loads, there's a million network transactions behind the scenes. Their switches have to make sure Tom from Chicago gets the page request he wanted instead of what Jill from Chicago wanted. It's a heavy load.
EDIT: And everyone refreshing the page, starting new session requests. Picture a dude at the deli counter ticket machine just grabbing #76, getting impatient, then grabbing #83, #86, and #91, so another dude comes by and sees "now serving #56", and the next ticket to pull is 98.
Steam Store is down, so SteamDB is unable to update prices. It will take a while!

Front page is fully loaded for me now. 14 minutes. That's my record for a Steam Sale to be semi-up.
Valve just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about digital storefronts (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Epic Games Store where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in a digital storefront, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the consumer public, after hearing about this 502 gateway error, is not going to want to purchase Steam games for their backlog, nor will they purchase any of Valve's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Valve has alienated an entire market with this move.
Valve, publicly apologize and cancel the summer sale or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I can't decide between Team Corgi and Team Cockatiel.
Truth be told, I'll just wait to see which gets the early lead to make sure I'm in the top 3. I'm a bandwagoner.

So still more expensive than what I paid for it on PS4 at launch (which was $37.99 with Target's B2G1 + Red Card). Awesome. :P
Truly Valve should upgrade their servers 5x to account for 10 minutes of downtime. It's UNACCEPTABLE. RIP Steam.

Two Points Hospital 15.xx€ /w all DLC. (18€ without DLC)
probably a glitch
They won't go out till much later. The system is under load. I fully expect the server room at Valve is like the control room of Chernobyl during the test.
Spend money for the chance of winning a random steam key. Yay. What everyone wants.
Gabe: "What's the current server load?"
Employee: "100%"
Gabe: "100%? Not great, not terrible."
