    Weird, I still managed to launch the client and can still launch my games. Just can't use the store.

    Fortunately, single player games will always work under offline mode ;)

    Ubisoft games were down before this. The Ubi downtime is unrelated.

    Its good for me. I just logged on and I am thinking about downloading the Plants vs. Zombies for $2 just because I don't actually have it... played it a bunch through friends and family on their computers, but I feel like I need a copy of my own.

    That's actually a very good question... but it's one I can't answer cause I don't own any, not on Steam. Hopefully someone else reads this and answers your question-- I'd like to know myself.

    Brotherhood launches to the game menu, so it seems that they still work.

    Kotaku just posted that it's a "Power outage". Source.

    Updating OP to reflect this.

    Via Twitter:

    "The power is back on now and we're working to get service restored as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

    Their uninterruptible power supplies went down for some reason and now they're rebooting to get everything back up. :)

    Power outage? Was it a drunk intern in the server room or something?

    Looks like the different areas are coming back online one by one.

    store came back up first, followed by the News. Community section of steam is still down and I still can't get into online games.

    His name is Farnsworth, and he didn't start his good news by saying "Good news, everybody"? That's just not right.

    I still can't log into my account, but at least it's not a data breach. It's disconcerting that one blackout can cut access to Steam given the large amount of server farms Valve has.
