    Steam downloaded an update twice today. Today I was playing the latest version, 0.5.3.2. Then there was a weird 0 byte update. :confused: After that Steam downloaded a 110 MB update, which is truly weird because it did not show up on the Steam News or the Dev blog. What is going on??

    Yup, same exact thing here. Nearly 30% of my installed games either updated or are slated for an update. Not counting the 0 byte updates.

    It could also be that Steam has been hacked by someone. We will never know what happend. Or it's a glitch.

    Wierd. I dont have updates for any of my games while a have a big list :/. But there may be changes for steam which forced the games to be updated or something.
