on a different note: Steam is completely down, no connections can be made to any steam server worldwide. Of course one can still play one's game offline.

Come on valve, this happens every big sale or game release, you need to start quadrupling your reserve bandwidth.

So going down briefly for maintenance at 5am EST (2am PST) is unacceptable?

Dev, you ranting about Steam not having enough servers, etc, etc is getting a little long in the tooth considering Steam has very very little downtime and even more rarely that it falls during prime-time.
