Here is what I did find. Apparently, this silent, release-noteless update has made TF2 crash on everybody who tries to open it. No wonder the server cleared out and nobody came to fill up spots, they were locked out.
Is Valve rolling out something so epic it makes people crash, is someone from QA going to be fired, is this a result of the infamous swine flu? All these questions and more will be answered as the story develops. All thats for sure is the problem was reported less than an hour ago, and that thread has 331 replies.
EDIT: Looks like the calamity is over, an hour later. Still silent on the steam front, can't wait to find out what went wrong/what this update even is.
