    I hate that it steals the focus like 5 times when launching. I’ll try to click off to do something while it’s starting, but it steals input focus. I get doing it once when the app finishes loading, but I really don’t need to stare at the startup progress bar.

      Steam, as a program, has fundamentally gotten worse with every update ever since they switched to electron/chromium

        Small mode? I had completely forgotten that it existed. I didn’t know anyone used that.

          Same, never heard of it, but now I want it.

          I agree with the poster, I don’t want any of that social nonsense, I just want to play games. As long as they keep developing Proton, I can forgive quite a lot.

          it had utility, it would reduce ram usage, make the program more usable. But now it doesn’t because it’s all fucking electron, so it’s literally useless.

        Steam has always been a social gaming platform…in fact it wasn’t even always a storefront.

          I’ve had steam since HL2 launched.

          No it hasnt.

          and no, it wasnt a storefront then either, because it was DRM/game decrypter and multiplayer server finder. They had no other games for sale at the time.
