I have been playing but I kept getting disconnected do to them doing maintenance so I gave up lol. Still down for me..

EDIT: This is from one of the VALVe guys who updates steam and stuff

We bounced once as Steam was coming up just after 0900 PDT, as we found a bug which would have prevented us from sustaining the day's normal load. After fixing that, we restarted Stem and we're up to our normal user load for this time of day.

I believe this to be the last visible, negative effect of our server upgrade work. I'm sorry the downtime took a bit longer than we had originally estimated.

It should be up and working now...
