Forum:STEAM(ing) pile of...

STEAM.

I have a pretty poor internet connection and generally play the game in "offline mode"

Yesterday after having not played for a few days I mistakenly started up whilst connected and was unable to play the game AT ALL for over 6 hours whilst STEAM decided to download a 252 MB update with no warning. It was completely impossible to play in any mode so that was that.

After finally loading the f***ing game crashed 4 consecutive times I started it up afterwards.

When it finally did load up STEAM then threw another 75 mb of update at me again with no ability to play.

So to cut a long story short (something we already knew): STEAM is the shittest thing ever invented by mankind and anybody involved in it should be sterilised.

Serioulsy though is there anything to be done (as a gaming community) to erradicate this crap thing from our lives?

Obvioulsy I won't be buying anything associeated with STEAM again.

P.S. It was also trying to download over 1GB of data for a Counterstrike Source "update"! I didn't even know I'd downloaded Counterstrike and have never played it on this PC!!!

"User unable to figure out..." Thanks you sarcastic git. Sincerely - thanks that option has made me much less angry towards this game :)

You are still a sarcastic git though ;) Peace on Earth!
