Oh god not another STEAM.
That application is horrible.
Needs sooo many damn updates and it still craps out a lot of times.
I can see why they implemented it, but it is just still very buggy.

I think Steam has good potential though... just a shame amazon still sells games cheaper than EA so I don't want to download them. Well a shame for me from one perspective, good overall I think.

It is not that I dont like Steam.
Its a good concept.
I just dont like the fact that they didnt fully test it since it still has/had a lot of bugs in it.
Don't give people crap, give people quality.

Dont release something if it is crap.

Ex: Steam would just randomly shut down, even in the middle of games for people.
Friends network - need I say more lol

I used to cut mine down to that but then I thought: hold on a second... it makes some things more awkward to do when I could have 30 processes at boot and have all the functions I want any time, as well as being way more secure... all of that costs about 50 3Dmarks but it's worth it.
