Honestly, I don't understand why people give it so much praise. I know they have awesome deals, but to me it's not worth it as I can't buy shit online.
Anyways, I bought a copy of Portal 2 from the store (disk). I installed it a couple days ago, and it was going great. So I decided to download TF2. OH NO! TF2 decided to not download at all. Instead it kept it at "Download starting" or whatever. So when I go to play Portal 2, it lags the game. Is there an option to cancel the download? I haven't found it, I only found Pause download.
So I uninstalled steam so I can get rid of that fucking TF2 bullshit. I reinstall steam, and all of a sudden I have to reinstall Portal 2? But I have the disc in. I never did understand it, why can't I play from the disc, if I own it. All of the fucking data is burned on to it, so why can't I play it? Instead, I have to pop it in, and have to wait over an hour now to play a game, all because it won't let me play from the disc.
And yes, I know people are most likely going to be like "lol steam is awesome, u mad" and some stupid bullshit like that. But aside from the deals, Steam is not worth it at all. Valve is, but not steam. I shouldn't have to have an internet connection to play a game that I bought on a disc. Instead, I get... oh joy, an hour and a half of wait time. THANKS STEAM FOR FUCKING UP!
