I recently purchased two games on Steam during their big sale. I've been playing them just fine the past two days. Today, I try to load Steam, the window saying "connecting to account" comes up and sits for a while, then it pops up a new window saying it can't connect to the Steam server and then closes. That's it. I am not given any option to access Steam in any other ways. I have paid my own good money to purchase games which are sitting on my computer, but because Steam can't connect to its server, I'm not able to play them. Very frustrating.
