Why would this hurt sales? The article mentions straight-out that store services weren't affected. They could sell just fine.

And LittleMe is right - building to peak usage is idiotic. You hit it for a few hours a year. You'd have to be a moron to build out to peak.
And if it was as easy as just leasing more space you'd think Valve, one of the most well run businesses in games, would have thought of it, right?

I swear, some of you armchair CEO to an unbelievable extent. Like, speculating is fine, but sometimes it's "they're such morons for not doing XYZ" as if they didn't consider it and, with significantly more evidence in front of them, choose not to.
