Almost like clockwork, the Steam web site and client ground to a stuttering halt at 10 am PT / 6 pm GMT as millions stormed into to skim through the countless discounts cooked up for the occasion.

Most were met with a ‘118 Bad Gateway ‘error as the servers failed to handle the demand.

Things are a little more stable now. Aside from the actual deals, Steam has, as usual,cooked up a rather lackluster packet of features for what it’s calling the Steamville Holiday Event.
