I was in one of my map threads, and I noticed that the images were all broken. They were being hotlinked from Steam Screenshots, so I went into my gallery to see if they had indeed been deleted for some reason — thinking maybe Valve had a policy of auto-deleting old ones. But they're all still there. Thing is, the direct link is slightly different. It used to be "cloud.steampowered.com", but now it's "images.akamai.steamusercontent.com". Um, OK, why? Why change the URL to something harder to remember, and why not set up a redirect? And what the fuck is an akamai anyway?
For God's sake, Valve, you had one job, hosting files so people can link to them. All you had to do was nothing. You're supposed to be good at that!
