A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.
Never had this happen before and even a restart hasn't solved the issue. I quit out of a game of DOTA and now Steam won't go online. In fact, it won't even launch. Anyone know whats up?

Did you lose the game?
Yeah, but I quit not because I lost but because I was stuck in the match after it ended. Wouldn't let me find another one.
Just deleted Steam's Client Registry Blob thing, restarted and now it works though.
Man, the hazards of having all your games on one service... If it goes down, you're totally screwed :|
When I get that error restarting Steam usually fixes it. If that still does not work then restart your whole PC. If that still does not work then just wait it out. I have had Steam do that from time to time but it never lasts long.
Ive had an issue lately where when i first boot up the PC steam says i cant cant connect, all i do is start steam again and the problem goes away but its annoying
This is happening to me right now and is really frustrating! Deleted ClientRegistry.Blob, restarted Steam and the whole computer but still says no connection. Annoyingly it allowed me to download a game so it obviously knows I've got a connection but isn't connecting to thee Friends/Social stuff so I can't play anything online!
@Stealthoneill: This is what's wrong with Steam at the moment.Zero users currently connected. The client is showing "NO CONNECTION", the website won't allow logins and is displaying prices in dollars. All kinds of messed up. Hopefully it'll be sorted out soon.
Am I the only one that's relieved that Steam is down and not some other bullshit like my account having been hacked or something along those lines? -_-;;

Daumn.
I can still play the singleplayer games tho, which is nice :)
They should at least have a message on the main site. I went there and nothing, although I wasn't creative enough to check the stats for connected users.
Still nice if they had at least a prompt saying it's maintenance.
Thanks guys. Yeah would be nice to see something. I started to get a hint when visiting the help page and it was down. Would be nice to see a notice on login page or something though just so people know!
Borderlands lost and reestablished my connection to Steam several times over this past weekend, to the point I power-cycled my network to see if it was me. It wasn't, so I assumed their servers were just getting hammered.
