I can't remember the last time that Steam went down due to a game release. Maybe it was coincidental if they were having issues, but it would be a first.
I'm old enough to remember the excitement and horror of the half life 2 release. They've had a massive CDN backing them for ages now though.
Also did I just spot an Irish Lemmy server?
khannie@lemmy.world for the HL2 release, it was probably more of a challenge given how young Steam was at the time.
Not Lemmy, but nodeBB. :)
