why won't you put steam on your gaming beast?

I can't answer for Vuk of course, but I know why I was reluctant to put it on mine, though I have. For me it boils down to preferring to manage my own games, file system and software. I'd mind less much if I felt that Steam were actually competent (I didn't mind so much putting Stardock Central and Impact on it, though Impact did cause me some worries when it first appeared and didn't work very well). How can I be confident in letting Steam manage parts of my machine when they do such a poor job at times of managing their own product?

I concede that CA's past 2 releases (E:TW and M2) have seemed more of an "open beta" then a "commercial product."

Me too, only RTW was an open Alpha

I for one refuse to put STEAM on my computer.

Yes you refused to installed it because you did so in the custom bought laptop for ETW - talk about model boycotting

Steams alright. I'd rather not have it but it's certainly not on the level of Securicom.

SecuROM. Yes, I agree. Or even worse, Starforce.

It isn't that Steam is awful, just that it is frustrating. Most of the issues I have with it are only little things but ones that wouldn't be difficult for them to do better.
