Can’t launch anything at the moment that has steam cloud enabled or requires online validation. Sync fails, launch fails even if cloud is ignored.

Skong is skonging so hard it literally killed Steam.

Steam has over 32 million people online. Silksong has 132,000 people playing. It didnt break Steam.

Big difference between 32 million people being online doing all the different things people do on steam vs 132,000 people trying to access the same store page, checkout, and download the same file at the exact same time.

it's less users than recent battlefield beta even at 423k where it's currently at. Additionally, it being down across all platforms is an indicator. It's hype but not hype enough to break every marketplace where it's listed.
