i miss being able to install a game without having to install a bunch of associated crap with it. as much as i love steam it has always been borderline malware imo. sits in my system tray, uses my bandwidth, cpu cycles and memory etc... was even worse back when it refused to let you play your games without an internet connection too. :P
