i hated it then, and i hate it now... buggy, crappy garbage. it would never have taken off without them man-handling counterstrike 1.6 into it. we've talked about this before, you've never had a problem with it, but many many many people have.

recently, after steam updated, it seemed as if my password have been changed. i re-installed, i spent hours on the steam support forum and on their ticket thing, and got nowhere. it was only by visiting a somewhat shady website that i discovered the problem was local... all i had to do was delete an .ini file that was somehow untouched in the uninstall.

WHY was it not on their main site? hundreds of comments showed that people had the same problem (not to mention people who didn't comment... so thousands?) and yet those jerkoffs do nothing about it.

"oh but it backs up my games" ---> put the damn things in online storage, far far away from the sticky fingers of micro-transacting middlemen.

I bought bf1942 3 fucking times thanks to scratched cds

so stop scratching your damned CDs!

edit: steam -could- be good. but it's not. it's like a bad girlfriend, giving you sex but then stealing from your wallet and keeping you up at night wondering what the hell you did to deserve it.

lol, you guys xD

I remember when Steam came out, and it was a curse because you needed an internet connection to play a single player game (Half-Life 2).

So, this discussion... were would i position myself, ripping of said hl2.. mmh.. thats a a difficult one. Do i prefer my ass intact... or deep fried..
i guess i ask the magic eight..

Magic Eight, what has the future instore?
"YOU GONNA GET RAPED! NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU IMPLORE!"
"But aint there a way around this?"
"NOT, IF YOU DONT GOT SYPHILLIS!"
"So, i got to vote against my own interests?"
"ASK ONCE MORE AND YOU WILL GET A DATE WITH MY FISTS!"

Something is wrong with my ball. Well its decided. Im all for steam.

I bought bf1942 3 fucking times thanks to scratched cds. Fuck physical media. Digital or death.

Piratebay may be illegal, but it doesn't EVER impede my ability to play my games, and if my computer dies, p2p is right there waiting for me to download and install all my games again. No hassle, no fuss.

So true.
