What are these "hoops"?
What is this "pain in the ass"?

You're saying random things but not defining them.

But i'll agree that the steam browser is slow and badly made, if thats what you were talking about.

Disliking the way a program works is not an excuse to treat human beings badly/rudely.

AseaHeru, listen to Furtuka.  You won't make any friends the way you're acting.

Steam annihilates my bandwidth, even with every option that involves downloading and patching things turned off. I really, really dislike using it when I'm on my slow home network.

Its laggy, annoying, requiring you to jump through an excsessive number of hoops, and a pain in the ass.

Why? It isn't.
I know normally being a spelling and grammar nazi isn't cool, but I'm mentally doing this every time I read your posts. Proofread, would you? And what are you saying steam isn't?

Anyway, back I topic, you can fucking bet I was grumpy when I bought a boxed copy of Empire: Total War at Best Buy and had to install it through Steam. All ten gigabytes or so; the thing came on three or four discs but it wouldn't let me use them. I have to say though, I DID eventually warm up to Steam mostly based on the sales in their store. As a distribution platform it's convenient and really works. It really sucks if developers have a hard time getting on there, but I don't see it being worse if a developer can't get on steam with the new system than if they couldn't get on in the first place.

Doesn't really matter about him, trolls will troll any topic that is similar to what they hate(or in some cases when they are paid to hate on it), anyways, overall the greenlight looks interesting and I'll have to see how it turns out to really make a call on if its good or bad.

Agreed. If it turns out bad, then it's bad, if it turns out good, then its good :P .

I just hope we wont get many games that give the exact amount of required videos/screenies, but no demo, look really promising, nice flavour texts but turn out to be big piles of shit.

i've never had to use it myself, but isn't there a way to install a game off disc and then add it to your steam account? I know you can add non-steam games to steam. Seems wierd that it wouldn't let you use the discs if all the data was there? :S

My brother had supreme commander, installed from the disk, then used the cd key on his steam account and it worked just fine, steam acknowledged that it was installed elsewhere and patched it which is still able to be played even when steam isn't running at all, know quite a few other games even when they are installed in the steam common directory that doesn't require steam running.
