But why though?!

Cause they have nothing else to do. People say "oh they go against corporations and stuff", no not really they just don't have anything else to do.

http://store.steampowered.com decided to temporarily talk French at me. If I click "Sign in" in the discovery banner, it's Russian.

Changed to Polish now. Can't get to the login screen. Well this is fun. Witamy! Benvenuto!

edit
Apparently proper weirdness is going on, beyond a possible DDOS attack.

That's just normal steam website behavior.

 

[Alkastelca]

Turns out PSN an Xbox Live were too hard so they′ve taken down Steam instead.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Yeah, PSN seems almost perfect for me. So much for that empty threat, lol.

 

[BokehKing]

read their twitter. They want 100 likes per day to not take them down

This shit is what gets me
These people do it for more followers on Twitter every damn time

Twitter should deactivate people that say they are going to shut anything down.

But no, Twitter would let a child murderer have a soap box to stand on, what do they care.

 

[mreddie]

RUSSO SWERVE: They went after Steam instead.

 

[krang]

Turns out PSN an Xbox Live were too hard so they′ve taken down Steam instead.

Basically.

This tweet slays me:

"We haven't shut servers off yet because we are busy, we have family just like you guys do. Be patient!!!"

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Can't get my verification e-mail to sign-up on my new PS4. I guess i'll wait it out

My cousin hasn't gotten it either, can't redeem the Star Wars games without it :/

 

[DISSESHOWEDO]

I'm experiencing unbearable lag on BlopsIII EU PSN! Will try later again.

 

[mreddie]

Basically.

This tweet slays me:

[krang]

lol, perfect.

So they don't even know what a DDOS entails. Shutting off servers, group of fucking petulant children.

 

[The God]

Is anyone able to successfully enter CC info?

 

[inpHilltr8r]

I'm down. I got back up again.

 

[Monarch]

Let's just hope it's only related to Christmas... :/

 

[Pjsprojects]

Are you with Virgin?

They've been having some issues today.

I'm on virgin and all is running fine.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Let's just hope it's only related to Christmas... :/

He finally got it, don't lose hope!

 

[SeanR1221]

Impressed with how stable things have been

 

[hydruxo]

I'm down. I got back up again.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Phantom squad.... Pffffft

In my day when hackers threatened to disrupt a service they went through with it.

These kids today

 

[alr1ght]

Wow. I'm surprised at how stable it was today.

 

[Jarrod38]

Wow. I'm surprised at how stable it was today.

Well that is what happens when you got to grandmas house for Christmas.

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

Wow. I'm surprised at how stable it was today.

And people mocked Sony for all their stability updates. Today was the day they were proven to be worthwhile.

 

[JStein0222]

Incredibly impressed. Honestly went into today thinking there was no chance it would be up at all. Consider my PSN guard lowered!

 

[JoRo]

No problems for me or my nephew who got a PS4 for Christmas. Hope it stays that way!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

This was the whole "We're gonna take PSN and XBL down for a whole week" threat?

Fucking lol.

They couldn't even take it down Christmas day, when you have the added benefit of a million+ extra users.

 

[pizzacat]

Hey we have a family too you know

 

[Monarch]

He finally got it, don't lose hope!

Finally got it
Also lol @Sony for refusing me to give me the PS+ 14 days trial because I already got one free month on my PS3 when they got hacked back in April 2011...

 

[thenexus6]

Only played a little today and yesterday but its been perfect for me.

 

[kingwingin]

They deleted all their tweets lol

 

[Art Vandilay]

They deleted all their tweets lol

Haha that's awesome

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I don't give a shit about those fucks, but PSN has been pretty damn stable over christmans. Good.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

Yeah my Vita was having trouble with the store and downloading games, but magically started working Thursday morning. So I guess whatever they did had the opposite effect lol.

So far everything has been smooth sailing. Wonder if we'll ever find out if it they just suck at ddos or if Sony pumped up their anti ddos measures.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Turns out PSN an Xbox Live were too hard so they′ve taken down Steam instead.

They didn't even do that, Steam was an unrelated error.

 

[Bazookaxp]

I guess this is what happens when Microsoft and Sony team up on people that DDOS. People laughed at the idea at first but a healthy gaming community is a good gaming community.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Played a lot of Rocket League on PS4 and a lot of Ori on XB1(need to be logged in as game sharing). Both have been solid. Well done to them.

 

[Melchiah]

Just returned from the holiday trip, and Destiny works fine on the PS4. The same goes for online features like news feed and video streams. Only the recent activities on my own and friends' profiles took a while to load.

Huh?

It looks more like either this group was just posturing or their resources weren't enough to actually do anything.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Maybe they were too busy freaking out about their Steam accounts going haywire.

 

[boredandlazy]

Phantom Phantom Squad.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Really gotta give Sony credit for this, it never went down for me. Only slight PS store issues.

 

[3rdamention]

PSN worked great the last few days, no issues...These dudes talk a big game, and did what, took out Live for an afternoon a week or so ago?



Lol, now they are just the butt of a bunch of jokes....

 

[GnawtyDog]

As long as it's just a threat. Last year wasn't that bad either until you decided to boot out. I think eventually everyone got kicked out?

 

[Chezzymann]

Is sony still having trouble sending out emails? Im trying to verify a second account for my brother but its taking hours to get the email and ive prompted it to resend multiple times. This is getting ridiculous.

 

[Bazookaxp]

Huh?

I remember when this news came out and people did not think it was going to amount to anything.

You mean to tell me these companies don't bicker and verbally abuse each other like their respective fanboys do?

 

[Bazookaxp]

Yea they hate each other with a passion.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Yea they hate each other with a passion.

Now kiss.

I need more stability. Black Ops 3 makes my Ps4 UI laggy.
