    This will get locked. There were so many anti-Steam threads it was a madhouse. And get over it already. They'll fix Steam sometime.

    "#1) 60 ping before steam / 200 plus ping ALL STEAM SERVERS with spikes of 3000 ping"
    That problem may be a tech issue, i highly doubt the 5000 so servers all ping above 200.

    "#3) Updates stall most of the time
    and so on..." updates are good <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    so i like it. I admit steam can be an annoying mistress though. How many steam threads does this make? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Steam is good in many ways, but the ping increase is a large downer, and the updates stalling with NO resume features is also a bad point.

    EDIT: This isnt an Anti-Steam post so...

    And the topic says: "Steam, Why I Hate It..."

    Did I miss something? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Anyway, I won't keep nagging you for this any longer... Have fun.

    If I had a nickel for every "I hate steam" post or conversation in IRC, I'd probably get taxed on it. Please people, if you don't like it, don't use it. Nobody's holding a gun to your head until WON goes down.

    Until then, don't come here saying "I installed somebody else's software, it doesn't work, I hate it."
    You won't find any sympathy unless you ask for help to fix problems.
    On that note, this thread just like any other "I have an opinion, I'm sure you'd love to hear it" threads are going to be locked, cause quite frankly, we are sick of hearing it.
