Woah there. Are you saying that you have knowledge of what the steam guys have to do in order to make an update available? I wouldn't presume that knowledge myself, except to say that I'd think it highly unlikely to be as simple as what you are suggesting there.MadArkael wrote:You can chit chat all day, week, month year about how most companies dont work on weekends, and thats fine for steam its their decision. Its also peak gaming hours and probably when most of their bandwidth is used. The people working there probably receive a salary, and its not much to remote in, download a file, upload a file, create a page copy over all the tables and ads that they use and post a link with a short desc. With their servers Id say 10 - 20 minutes including the page.
Also, I'm sure their employees get paid, as most do, to work during work hours, not outside of them. If my employer wants me to work out of hours, they're going to pay me for it.
Neither here nor there. I can do the same thing. But again, during work hours only, unless there are special arrangements in place.My old lady when shes sick can do alot of work at home remoting into the servers at work, and using 3rd party programs to log on to co-workers computers to fix, alter, or whatever she need do.
