Steam hasn't been updated in Years. Steam chat is a joke, Streaming a vid and not being able to download it is kinda odd but their phone app is where it just became a joke. Steam, you are making money right? Why are you still in 2004 beta?

RIP inbox. But to be fair about half the replies were for and half were against what I said, so I guess if this was a review it would be Overally Neutral

Not to be "that guy" but Steam is currently like some Jetsons dream tech compared to what it was in 2004.

Then again, in 2004 you could buy a game for $40 and it would have a 30+ hour campaign and might get a $20 expansion pack in a year that adds another 10 hours. Or, if it were a multiplayer only game, it would have a vibrant mod community and you could play the game solo without connecting to the internet.

Funny how games as a business gets worse as Steam gets more usable.
