Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now
still broken for me too, it’s not just you
you’d think an hour and 20 would be enough time to let things be less broken
Once a server goes down they have to deal with the “thundering herd problem”. When you fail to get the game you keep retrying, which generates even more requests than the initial number that made the server go down in the first place.
