Confirmed by a valve sources on steam forums and in chats.

People don’t get sacked over outages, sometimes the shit really hits the fan even with the right level of maintenance and change control.

I don’t think Valve have done anything to raise the ire of the hactivist community, if anything they’re probably fans.

RodAnd thus began a truly bizarre ARG whereby Valve wouldn’t put Steam back online until people stopped trying to log in to Steam.
