There’s not much in this world I hate but Steam is one of them. I’m installing an older game, Half-Life 2, in order to get it to work right there’s all kinds of hoops to jump through and bells to ring.
Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggg!!!

Only thing good about it is once you register a game through steam you never have to worry about keeping up with the media...but yeah it's retarded that you have to have it to play many games.
Its to make sure someone isnt trying to play from both at the same time. If you could log ina nd play from multiple PCs at once you could share an account with a friend and only need to purchase one copy of the game.
