Why Steam sucks badly:
- They could add some more information in their FAQ. What rights do I have, as customer? Can I play the game offline?
- Does downloading some stuff really need 30-90% of my CPU?
- Do I have to ask for permission everytime I wanna play? (Reminds me of the lowest difficulty level in Doom 1: Mommy, can I play?)
- The security update each time I connect to a server takes 20s (at least).
Alternatives to Steam
Urban TerrorThanks guys for this awesome mod. Only one drawback for me: It’s not that realistic, the action is too fast-paced (yeah, Quake 3 style). Players jump around all the time to avoid bullets. But it’s far better than waiting for steam.If you have alternatives to steam, please post them.

Hey guys, I ended the single player campaign of MW2 today. I started playing yesterday and quit after two hours (had to go for some drinks with the boys), I played 4 hours today and finished the game. One guy over here has finished it in 3 hours flat. I am a bit disappointed with the short single player story, and just want to tell you guys that it simply is not worth paying a whole lot of money for so short a campaign. The game is OK, but the developers have not really put in a major effort in making. Don’t buy MW2 at the current prices, it is not worth it.

agreed,
I didn’t mind steam until last week-end. I bought games during the black week-end specials. I trried using my credit cards, but the system didn’t seem to work, so I used my paypal account, which I’ve used once every 6 months or so. The paypal system decided that my last transaction needed to be verified and investigated. They stopped the money transfer.
I reacted right away and gave them all answers they needed. But for some reason, they never released the money after they approoved my account.
Flash forward 5 days later, I try to log on my steam account to finally play games I paid for but only had time to download before my work week started, only to find my steam account disabled.
Here’s the thing: They disabled access to 30 games I’ve LEGALLY paid for since HL2, without sending a single message warning me that my account was being disable. It`s been 48 hours and still waiting for my account to be activated. They even answered me once telling me that the issue with paypal needed to be resolve.
Sure, I agree, for the game that was disputed, but I really don’t see how I could like a system like steam that can potentially render all games I own legally and I’ve paid for unsable on a whim of some obscur technician or clerk. ALl of this, without a single email.
I’ve always favored boxed product, this was the first time, last week-end,I was buying Digital product, and it’s the last. Pisses me off, I’m an honest gamer, I pay for all of the games I’ve played since I started to work and can afford it,whih means almost 10 years now.I Know a lot of people pirating games and I know that they also do it with steam games. So, they don’t need to be worry, only legit users needs to be worry.
So yeah, I’ve use steam for many years, but just found out why it’s really not a good thing for us gamers. Imagine loosing 5-10-15 years of paid for games just because some problem happened.Think about it.
PLease bear with me, english is not my native tongue.
December 7th, 2009 at 12:11 am
oh, and I called paypal, and they corrected the situation on their side yesterday morning, still waiting for Valve. Wasn’t able to play all w-e, since I uninstalled all of my other games to be able to download most of the games I bought last week-end to back them up, freaking catch 22.
Very pissed gamer…

It’s been 4 hours since I decided to play World in Conflict. The past 4 hours I have spent updating and verifying game files.
I use steam for two reasons; I never have to worry about losing or scratching discs and I don’t have to wait for games to ship, just for them to DL.
I’ve gotta say though, steam PISSES me the FUCK off. Why the fuck should it take 4 motherfucking hours to play a game that I’m going to be done with in half an hour anyway? FUCK steam, it needs to be fixed. It needs to let me play my games whenever the fuck I want to play them, regardless of whether or not there are updates available and regardless of whether or not I’m connected to the internet.
December 9th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Swearing at these buffoons wont hurt them, so I would like to suggest suing STEAM, and everyone who’s Pissed off with them could contribute cash to pay for an international LAW SUIT against them????
December 10th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Steam fucking sucks! Those guys are assholes and should all go fuck themselves. I doenst work on my stupid computer and i can hardly play cod2 at all coz steam doesnt let me. I wanna go over there and fucking shoot those guys in the face. Steam, you are all fucking retards, I payed good money for the game now let me play it assholes!
December 10th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
steam does not suck just bescuse you get banned
December 10th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
–>>steam does not suck just bescuse you get banned –>
It doe.. I don’t care what 1 person does, no one should loose access to all the game they legally PAID for. I got my access back now, but I still hate steam and will not buy anymore games from them. I will not let someone be the arbitrary judge of hundreds and even potentially thousand dollars worth of games. Sorry, if it’s ok for you to let someone else be the real pwner of your stuff, go ahead and spread them if you like…

Steam is pretty excellent.
I use it for all my game purchases and have since HL2 release. Everything’s been seamless and fantastic. Never been denied access to any of my games, offline or on.
You can disable automatic updates if you want, btw.
Don’t know what’s wrong with you guys.
December 26th, 2009 at 6:31 am
steam sucks, i cant re sell a retail game once i get bored of it, nor can i share it with my bro cause the key is tied to my steam account, and if he used my steam account he continues off my game stats and does not start fresh, if you can, just buy the console version, you can share it around the house anytime, start fresh, and you can resell it anytime too, fuck this steam shit i will no longer buy any game that requires steam or anything similar to it
December 28th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
I´m also against the need of net connection in order to run a single player for the first time.
How steam can be so bad:
-Steam produtcs are so expensive as any other games, but later when you install a steam game, you´ll be forced to download updated and additional files for the game, therefore you are paying for more, and you´ll be paying more if in future if you reinstall the game in a new pc or in new windows system installed, so you´ll never know how much you´ll be paying in the future to replay a steam game.
Steam can make take more than 14 hours to install a game , and not all the people have time, patient and money to waste unfairly in this unbarable installing process, do you like to arrive home after a full day job and then unexpectadly see you little time of freedom and relaxion for entertainment being wasted and fully ocupied by a long installation? i´m sure no one likes it. And it makes no sense to finish a game that took half of the time to be installed.
People that care about their products, are people that should know that they have full control of their products, people who have their products free from someone else system to enjoy it, because you´ll never know the day of tommorrow, so if something bad happens to steam, like going out of business or data loss, you still want to be able to play your games , because many people such i like to replay a game after some years, just like seeing again a movie, an audio cd, reading a book and so one. So i like to know i´ve purchase a game that cointains all the files, a game wich i kow i can run as long as it is in my possession, and not a game which half of the files belong to someone´s company forever.
And that´s why a pyrate copy of a steam game has become more genuíne by containg all files and for not requiring steam connection; and nowadays you can find a good and cheap print that can make you good covers for your copies…i was against copies, but ever since steam and other companys alike appeared i started supporting it, not only is cheaper has you can easly install it without a long installing process and without a net connection or creating a steam acount.
Like everything that runs in the internet world, Steam is not 100% free and protected from Hackers and virus ,spammers and other net issues, so there has been already some complains from the Steam users concerining these problems, we know that the number of hackers have been increasing, so what guarantees do we have that Steam will be always well sucessed in its system features? so imagine how may people would have their steam games useless if something bad hapenned to Steam company, because acidents happens, but accients don´t happen to million people at the same time. Hackers will always find new ways to sabotage systems, the movie “world wars” show well that.
The less requesits a game has , the more acessible it will be, and the more people will be able to enjoy it.
Oh, i almost forgot to say, hackers can steal your steam game, tsk…tsk
I am tottaly against Steam

I recently installed CoD:MW2 and got fucked in the ass by steam…it has taken over all of my games and it sucks dick….I’ve never seen games crash so fucking much in my life, and it eats up all of my resources. I’m removing all of it from my machine, CoD doesn’t fucking work anyway.

I did not know about Steam until I bought Fear 2. I started having a really annoying bug. During play, Fear would minimise and Steam would pop up. There was no message or anything. When I tried to get back to Fear, I couldn`t!! Nothing worked. So Each time I had to force quit Fear and restart it. I got so annoyed that I swore never to buy another game that comes with gucking steam.
Lately I bought COD Modern Warfare 2 and I forgot to check if it used steam. Well… it does. It didn`t take long until the Multiplayer mode didn`t work any more. Some error message popped up telling me to contact steam support. I did and they wrote me back that they thank me for my posting and that they are aware of the problem. Great. Meanwhile, I can`t play the game that I payed good money for. The single player mode is about 8 - 10 hours of play - that`s a joke. It`s meant to be played online and fucking steam is preventing me from doing that.
As Connor already put it:
FUCK YOU STEAM
FUCK YOU VALVE
FUCK YOU ALL THE DEVELOPERS THAT USE STEAM

I used steam when HL2 was first released what a nightmare! I was still using dial up and it took bloody hrs to install and was a pain to run each time, I then kept getting banned from the steam forums even when I never used them!!!
I later got rid of steam as I was fed up trying to get it to work each time I ran HL2, never again will I touch anything that needs steam, good idea but badly implemented. I hate steam and won;t touch it if I was paid to.

While steam is spiffy for people with endless bandwidth, one computer ever, and no particular hurry to use the software they’ve bought, in the big picture it makes software just that much more complicated. The more steps you add and fiddly little obligatory features surrounding the core product, the more things there are to break. Requiring T4 players to create yet another internet account, log on somewhere, download updates and install patches is a burden on the consumer and is simply begging to break the product for some of them. The Bioware-style central update server is perfectly satisfactory for single-player games. Steam is more painful than it’s worth.
January 12th, 2010 at 8:42 am
I had no problems in installing my orange box, but the idea of requiring you to be online when installing games AND playing them offline is just stupid and tedious. Not only that, when the time comes that i will need to wipe my hardware’s memory its going to be hell reinstalling these games.
Note that I played the cracked versions of HL2 and Portal FIRST before purchasing, I bought the O box for TF2. I swear its update looks like its stuck on 1%. Seriously, installing the cracked games where a lot easier than this shit.
January 14th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
It’s time for someone to take steam to court
January 17th, 2010 at 2:08 am
I think valve is subversively supporting piracy. Why else would they put people through the hell that is steam??
If my theory is not true then I truly wish pain and suffering upon the developers of steam.
I wish that.

I wanted to launch Modern Warfare 2, but STEAM started updating, it updated for about 14hours and distoed 75% of my internet traffic. When it was done Updating, i tryed to launch the game, but some error came out, it said that some file named “localization.txt” is missing or something! I have no idea what to do! can they at least pay me my money back, or give another copy of the game? Why STEAM makes it so complex, why can’t they just let people play?
February 7th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Well my steam crashed so i reinsatll it. But what happen, my profile is gone. i got mw2, gmod and CSS on that profile.
February 7th, 2010 at 4:06 pm
Yeah, my friend’s profile crushed too, when he tryed to play from the internet cafe…
February 10th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
Steam is so gay. its never works. the connection is bs. Like, you buy a game through steam and now steam and valve think they can control the game and what you can do on it. my steam connection is bs and steam can fuck themselves. i would like to killed every single fucktard who made this bullshit called steam.
February 25th, 2010 at 2:55 am
So i had all these games on steam. What happens? Well, it wants to update all the time. And i tried reinstalling steam several times and nothing. Next time, i wont ever buy a $team game again.

I just want to play supreme commander 2… But steam insists on updating the fucker with a 2 gig file and it’s crawling for like 2 hours. This is total bullshit. Steam sucks my balls. I hate it so much and I want to find the people who are responsible for the piece of shit and i want to tear their heads off and shove them up their asses.
what happened to the days when you could buy a fucking game on a dvd, install the goddamn thing… then play the game immediately?? what the fuck???????
March 4th, 2010 at 4:47 am
this is bullshit - like buying movie tickets but having to sit through 4 hours of previews before the show starts…who comes up with this kind of a “plan” for a game launch? didn’t see any of the game review sites mentioning this multi-hour installation “snag”… i just wish the same execs/management/decison makers who make a nice bonus from this “launch”, would book their families on a nice vacation, only to get stuck on the taramac for hours and hours, wondering why the air-conditioning is off, and why airlines execs don’t care enough about their customers…
gas powered games! disclaimer: batteries not included…
gas powered games! 4 hour waiting line for gas(steam/diesel)…don’t like it? go f urself… waaahh
March 7th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Steam sucks. I can’t understand why people like it. I just bought a game (and now I am waiting for steam to update it. I’ve been waiting 20 min and it still says 0%). Game developers must be incredably lazy. Also, the idea that people know what you are playing and when doesn’t endear them to me either.
Anyway, if you want to shut Steam down simply keep downloading your software. Just leave you computer on and download big programs all the time. Once you’ve got the program delete it and start again. Steam can’t afford to lose that bandwidth all the time…

GO FUCK YOURSELF STEAM COCKSUCKERS DIE PAINFULLY YOU MONEY GRABBING WHORES
March 10th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
Word, people. Steam sucks.
I’d never even heard of it before yesterday, but I thought, “how bad can it be?” I then bought Order of War and found out. To use steam, or play a steam game, you have to have a steam account. BULLSHIT. To ask a question or get technical support, you have to also set up a steam “support” account? REDUNDANT BULLSHIT. And then I have to wait more than a day to play it? UNACCEPTABLE BULLSHIT.
I’m a casual gamer, so when do I make the trip to the store to buy a game, the last thing I’m going to stand for is waiting 36 hours for steam to do whatever the fuck it does before I can play a game that I have PAID for the right to play NOW.
I’ll admit, I didn’t do my homework. The warning that Order of War requires you to deal with steam is clearly written on the back, but I bought it without knowing what steam is, and now I have an opened copy of OoW that I can’t use and can’t return. That said, I think its downright misleading for retail stores to sell games that require steam’s (or anything like it) permission and supervision to use. Steam games should be available only through steam, since buying the software is pointless.
I hate it, but I can accept this, because I believe in the old adage “buyer beware.” But you can bet your ass that from now on, if a game has the words “valve” or “steam” anywhere on it, I’ll pass. In fact, now that I have a steam account, I will use it exclusively to research what NOT to buy.
March 19th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Why do we have to download a game off of steam if we bought a retail copy? When I buy a game I want to play it! What’s the point of buying a retail disc if we still have to download the game? Steam was a decent idea but is HORIBLY executed.
March 20th, 2010 at 12:50 am
gay ass mother fuking steam. u ****ing *****. I hope u find a grave and ****ing die!!!! ****!!!!!!!

Started a reload of Empire Total War after hard drive replaced. Started @9am, four fucking hours to copy DVD files over. Now the update, say it will be done in 33 minutes….that was fucking four hours ago. 5pm now. Still can’t play. Thanks for wasting my day Steam/valve. Hope you all get cancer you fuckers. I fucking totally rebuilt my system in fours hours, but one fucking game install takes a day and a half. Nice engineering douchbags!!!
March 22nd, 2010 at 6:33 pm
I always heard about problems with the steam account. Some account get even hijacked? Do you still think it is wise to get a steam account, I am usually to lazy to get a game in a store, so I would prefere to download them. Or are there any other options.
April 2nd, 2010 at 10:30 pm
I remember the day I bought half Life generation box set, what an excellent game collection it was,
So years later the Orange Box is released, so obviously as a fan of the first, I bought it, only to take it home (Where I have no internet) to find out Steam has just Fucked me in the arse.
Steam is such bullshit, I’ve read so many of the comments above and agreed so whole heartedly with all of them
I cant believe I bought a SINGLE PLAYER game which needs an Internet connection to play, absolutely retarded.
The only way I completed half life 2 was playing it 2 years later around my friends on his XBOX!
So only today.. I trotted down to the shop and bought Napoleon Total War.. I was so looking forward to playing this untill that steam bullshit came up. Fucks sake
I know all about steam, hence my posting..so I say….Fuck you steam,
I think id rather take it back to the shop, get my money back, buy some blank DVDs and download it
At least then I would be able to actually play it!
April 3rd, 2010 at 4:00 am
Steam sucks period.. I will never purchase another title from this rip off idea ever again. End of conversation, end of steam. Google you suck period. The internet sucks and is now owned by commie puke!
April 6th, 2010 at 9:31 pm
dude the only way it takes two hours is called bad internet i mean if your computer is 5-3 years old you cant blame your computer or steam i have a 3year computer and it runs perfetly i never even upgraded my coputer.2cd off if takes if it takes 30% to 90% of your computer data then you bought a cheap computer.#rd off you rely are making a big deal out of not bad stuff like Example theres not enough info in the F and Q you must be drunk.Finaly if it doesnt work you need a new computer and your computer cant handle the graphics and you need a video card
April 8th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Just had my first encounter with Steam/Valve, and my last! This is just so much BS just to install a game even if it does or doesn’t work (i’m still installing so I don’t know yet). I’ll be looking very carefully from now on at just what games are associated with Steam/Valve and not purchase those.
April 8th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
Is it just fucking legal??? You bought a fucking game for fucking $$ and you can’t play it because the fucking downloader gets fucking stuck everytime you launch it??
I’m casual gamer, but steam motherfucker games are the one I play less at the end cauz I just can’t take it!!!
FUCK STEAM, next time i see a game with steam at the store I won’t buy it
April 10th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Bought Mount blade warband from amazon. Another game I payed for that I do not actually own. My bad. I should have researched it more. The steam license warning is getting tiny and now written on the back of the box.
Seems they used to actually put a logo on the front side, and I steered clear of it. That is last time I get suckered by steam.
I hate this fucking service. It seems that will all the “sycophantic fanbois” running around out there Big Brother STEAM is here to stay.
“Yo, Bro Dude man, it is like convenient, and I hate having to install DVD’s at any time I wish and on any computer I choose, when I can sit and watch the STEAM is updating screen, it gives me time to scrape my pipe.”
April 13th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Fuck you, Steam!!!!!! I’ve tried to play MW2 and I feel like I have a 56K connection, that’s if I can get on. It takes too long to load, if at all. The next CoD BETTER have dedicated servers like CoD4 or I will NOT buy it. I hate you Steam and I want you to go to hell!!! You go to hell and you die!!!!!!!!!
April 19th, 2010 at 12:08 am
Only reinstalled steam because of Napoleon total war, avoided games that required steam before that.
I live in the bush with wireless broadband, 10gig a month and not cheap, and now steam has decided to download a patch that seems to be about 15gig. So can’t play because it’s downloading, and can’t download because I can’t use all my data allowance at once. I don’t even play online. Fuck you steam, fuck you in your stupid asses.
