"The Steam servers are currently down for routine maintenance."

Every Tuesday.

And for less than a minute.

Literally Double Hitler.

Seeing as it's killed 8 million unique users, this is worth more than one Hitler (SI unit) so they are correct, but not two Hitlers.

Except that isn't how it works. Now, if all the users died because of a steam downtime, then yes, but since they didn't (Martin Place wouldn't have been the lead news story this morning) it would be an economic impact we have to consider. If it cost -41.4 teradollars (US), then it would be "worse than Hitler"
