Re: Steam related discussions
Steam's update system is an absolute joke. Add an F word there too. I made a 4 DVD backup of Shogun 2 Total War today, and when I decided that I want to play, it dropped an update bomb on me. First, it took half an hour to do some HDD work - what it was, I don't know, because it won't tell. Then it is downloading a 3.5 GB update.
And the ironic thing is - all that the update is likely to have is multiplayer updates, and I don't play any multiplayer. WTF is so difficult about allowing us to choose if we want an update or not? And if they must insist, then why do they have to be lazy and release updates as full uncompressed files instead of the older way? Stop being lazy. Don't make legitimate owners with limited bandwidth have to resort to cracked to copies when you are going to force us to use Steam for a single player game. I don't want to go over to the dark side. Don't make me.
