The problems affected not only the service, but also Valve games.
Recently, players panicked again due to a failure in Steam: problems were observed in the service itself, as well as in Valve games. This failure affected not only users from Russia, but also other regions.
Members of the gaming community drew attention to the announcements that appeared on the "Steam Status" service.
The developers noted that during the Steam failure, Cloudflare and Akamai experienced problems. Valve uses their services, so it is assumed that the failure in the service was caused by problems with partners.
