The entire service is down for me. The forums, website, and even the store is inaccessible. That's the first time I've ever seen the store go down.

Same for you guys?

Pretty sure cloud saves are just back ups. I played Rage when my internet was down and it still had my saves.

i seem to be ok for now for me but it appears to be a widespread problem; the store shows users online dropping sharply to about 635,000 at the time of this post.

Valve needs some better servers. But for me, the store works fine and games are okay, but the community and websites are still down. Rats.

Everything was down for a few hours but after I checked just now seems like Store is back up with Community to some extent. Friends is still down and says "No connection" in low centre of the Steam window.

Yeah, I recently came back to say that it crashed again. They must've been doing a test run of something or they ran into another error.
