I definetly have to agree. I have had so many problems with steam that its not even funny anymore. I run a laptop and its a pain in the ass when i'm away from home or a wi-fi connection, and the HL2 Engine will crash my computer or steam will lock up and force me to reboot it, and when i get it back up, I cannot play any of my OFFLINE games because i havent connected to the Internet FIRST. WTH is the deal with that anyway. I understand the anti-piracy deal, but i paid for the offline game, and want it to work offline period. on the other hand for games such as EVE online which are just doing marketing and selling initial cd-keys, and then just booting the games EXE file seperately, thats great, it gets games like eve more spotlight attention and in the end, is good for the whole community, because it brings new players in. thats great, but if your going to work a program like this in, at least make sure the god damn thing works correctly. Reble Out....
