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

      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.

      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.
