I would give anything for Valve's Steam to have an option to disable the Big Picture Mode button. How many times have I accidently clicked it, fml

All I picked up from this topic is how awesome Steam really is. I mean if THIS is the biggest gripe Gabe did a damn fine job.

Meanwhile we just learned a week ago that Sweeney agrees the EGS needs improving - yes, its May 2025 and he finally figured it out... Lol.

No, but let's not derail the thread with the serious reasons.

your going to be pissed like two months from now, somehow this topic stuck in your subconscious and you accidently start clicking it



@Steve-007UK no that doesn't help this issue. I am not expecting anyone to give me an answer to this issue, I am just venting my frustration when I misclick

I never minimize steam window, I just close it.

especially after the forums became a heavily moderated echo chamber.

I mean that's the last thing I'd call steam forums...

Nah, used to be near lawless, the only thing that got you banned was endorsing piracy. Like, a grassroots thing you know?

I loved it because it was a front row seat to some of the most unruly posts on the internet, angry gamers can be (and tbh are) quite a crowd

It will be missed.

Biggest bugbear for me with steam is after all this time there's still no option to close instead of going to tray, instead you have to go to steam>exit, small annoyance though it really pisses me off even today

yeah battle net gives you the option, and I think heroic games launcher does as well. steam is a bit outdated in some regards

I find that heroic games launcher is more intuitive overall too, and just looks nicer.

I dunno I witnessed quite the fetid spectacle just the other day but who cares, we're offtopic anyways.

This isnt a serious topic and if it is, it aint about Steam bud
