Welcome to the why Steam sucks thread. I will be typing up and sharing with you a long rant, and my experience with Steam, one of the worst god damn companies/program whatever the ---- it is that came to earth, and shafted me! (and others) HERE IT IS: I will do everything in my power to make sure steam FAILS!
steam is a god awful application, made by VALVe, who actually pays people to ---- things up, instead of fix them.
you cant play games when in offline mode... so when I didnt have an internet connection i couldnt play anything.
