If the sweaty tech is complaining, it's bad...

I have never in my life had so many problems with a piece of software. I think the idea of steam is decent (not good)one, but the way they are rolling out the concept is doing nothing for the reputation of their company, or the concept as a whole.

Steam's business spiel states that they want to become the model for broadband content distribution, presumably with many clients besides Valve someday. Tell me, would you choose steam as YOUR content distribution vendor (?), if they can't even get a VIDEO GAME to work right? Much less, a game that worked well for YEARS before they got their bungling hands on it? If Steam EVER wants to have a client besides Valve, they'd better get these issues sorted out REAL quick, they already have a reputation of messing up every release, and every update. NOT ONCE has an update gone smoothly for me, and the majority of the people I talk to have a similar story, usually involving multiple reinstalls, only to have to wait for the patch from their pathetic, bandwidth-lacking servers EVERY SINGLE TIME!

GARBAGE!

FUCKING GARBAGE!

your friendly, sweaty, SBC tech, patiently waiting for the 8th time for my 2 hr download, so I can play for 1/2 an hour before getting another fatal exception.

FUCKING GARBAGE!

Im not having much trouble now, I re-installed and just activated ONE game at a time, saved all the cached files I had previosly dl and put em back in after install.

Worst game launch EVER! Just think we get to do it all again in 2 weeks or so if we are in a hurry for HL2
I expect D3 will be another fiasco..
