Steam platform crashes: "Silk Song" release triggers visit to Hong Feng

　　Steam, the world's largest PC digital gaming platform, experienced service interruption today. As a platform known for its stability, Steam has rarely experienced large-scale failures, causing users to be unable to purchase any games.

This downtime coincides with the official release of "The Hollow Knight: The Song of Silk". Team Cherry Studio's highly anticipated Metroid-like game seems to be the main cause of the failure. "Silk Song", which has been brewing for six years, is one of the most watched works in the history of the game. The torrent of visits caused by its release obviously overwhelmed the Steam server. According to data from the fault monitoring website Down Detector, thousands of users have reported Steam exceptions.

　　The current impact is not only the "Silk Song" store page: clicking on any game will display an error page, which means that all purchase functions are temporarily paralyzed. It is expected that Steam will repair the fault as soon as possible so that players who have been waiting for many years can purchase "Silk Song" in time, and at the same time restore the normal purchasing functions of other users.
