    Dear @Steam In case you have noticed the last build you pushed with the Easy Cheat .DLL client has broken every game using easy cheat in your customers library. You just might want to fix this as people are already posting links to malware as a fix. Thanks

    This is probably the longest @NVIDIAGFN outage I've seen in a while. A "steam update" downloaded on the GFN side hours ago, and ever since then, no @Steam games will launch. Error 0xCOF52104 Epic Store games seem to work. Dunno about Ubisoft, since I have no games there.
