I logged on through steam this morning, about 7:30am BST, and all was fine. Never had a problem with steam tbh. Has something gone wrong since then?

The problem seems to have been from sometime after 7 PM EDT to sometime before 11 PM EDT last night.

It seems like a lot of people say that Steam has problems like this "all the time," but that hasn't been my experience. I've been playing ESO through Steam for a little over 4 years now, and there were only 3 times that I couldn't log in to ESO because of a problem on Steam's end.

There was a 4th time that a lot of people were having problems logging in, and there were people saying that it was a Steam issue, yet some of the people who couldn't log in were not using Steam to launch the game and hadn't purchased it through Steam, so I fail to see how that time could have been a Steam issue. If I remember correctly, it turned out to be a problem that was affecting a number of different online services, not just ESO and Steam, due to an ISP that was having issues.

Anyway, imagine that you've gotten 3 speeding tickets during the span of 4+ years, and then you encounter a traffic stop where the highway patrol are stopping every single vehicle so they can check everyone's driver's license, vehicle tags, look for any outstanding fines, etc. They look at your license, punch it into their computer, and then go, "Woah! It looks like you speed all the time!" I'm pretty sure your reaction would be something like, "What are you talking about, 'all the time'? I've gotten only 3 speeding tickets in a little over 4 years! How is an average of 1 speeding ticket every 13 months 'all the time'? That's a gross exaggeration and a malicious mischaracterization!"

But still people say that Steam has these occasional issues "all the time." Whatever.

Well, 3 speeding tickets in 4 years IS a lot.

I’ve been locked from playing ESO because of a steam problem twice in the last month or so. One when the steam client errored out trying to login to steam and last nights steam’s failure to connect you to ZOS servers.

3 speeding tickets in 4 years is a lot and will put your insurance through the roof, it could also result in a license suspension if you cluster them too close together.
