Promising a way for you to 'Listen to your music collection while you play games', beta signups (of a kind) are open now."

    Also the support.

    Have you ever used steam support before?

    It is THE WORST support I have ever encountered and that is saying something. (and this was backed up by the countless other experiences I read on their forums etc also)

    Basically he never read a word I wrote and just sent back copy and paste responses that had nothing to do with my problem over and over again no matter how many times I tried to explain the problem.
    By the end I was considering that it was not a real person and just a robot firing off canned responses based on a machine learning algorithm.

    (and I am not joking here - I have a MSc in AI and I am pretty sure I could come up with something as good and probably better than the person I dealt with)

    Since then I have not spent a dime with them and do not intend to unless I absolutely have to. (i.e. an app I cannot get anywhere else)

    So in summery: Steam can suck my balls.
