    it's cause the server crashed. Hopefully they get that stuff back or no one will trust steam cloud anymore. It was pretty lame because L4D revolves around steam matchmaking and if steam servers crash you can't get in a server. s

    Friends list is up, community isn't. There's a difference.

    I know the difference. Don't treat me like an idiot. Everything was down. Community, friends, steam cloud. The only thing that worked was steam login and games that didn't require extra steam stuff. Like l4d. Please get informed before you come in here acting like I'm the stupid one.
