A program designed by VALVe to make more
money out of their games, and convenience gamers by auto updating games, and adding a friends/im system. This makes them more
money because they dont have to pay the publisher as much
money so instead of getting 15 bucks a copy after all the publishing fees, they get about 40. It was released over one and a half years ago with many bugs, those bugs were fixed, but people still blame steam on their crappy comp
steam is much
better, just because ur 4 year old comp and ur 56k connection cant run
the game fast, doesn't
mean its steam fault. What would u rather do, Wait for 5 hours inline on fileplanet, or directly download content from one of steam 44 content servers.
