I had my issues with Steam, but lately a new one come up, I have an old laptop with Steam and Half Life installed on it, so when we had do go on vacation my son wanted to take the old laptop to play some Half Life if bored, but Steam decided to upgrade and fuck itself, then I discovered that Steam Client uses Chrome and the client is no longer compatible with the OS on the old laptop. I did not had the tiem to screw around with cracks or some way to find an old client, fuck Valve, if your new client is not compatible with the OS then fucking stop update it, or make it possible for someone to continue playing the game, maybe a super simple Launcher that does not need Chrome.

These launchers are the worst. I have five or six of them installed on my machine that are required to play the games I bought. Sometimes a launcher launches a launcher. Often both require an update. Whenever I boot Windows to play games, I have to be ready for multiple GB of updates to download, on a metered LTE connection, just to be able to open the launchers. I am not even sure what they do, when I buy a game the only thing I want is a URL to download it and a way to be notified of optional updates. Email or RSS feeds would to that just fine. Why do we accept so much useless bullshit?

  Agree, also forced game updates, you have 30 minutes to play a game but there was an update and the "Play" button is replaced with a "Update" button , it might work if you go in Offline mode this days, I am not 100% sure. DRM-ing the game should be possible without forcing a launcher, but probably that would be bad for business.
