1) It&#x27;s buggy. Literally 50% of the time when I launch it, it says it can&#x27;t reach the network. Meanwhile my browser and email are chugging along just fine. Another launch of Steam and suddenly it sees the network. No other app I run has any problem reaching the network ever.<p>2) Steam &quot;updates&quot; itself every time I launch. I see others saying it only happens once a month, but I literally cannot launch it and have it not update. If I quit and immediately relaunch, it says it&#x27;s updating and starts downloading stuff. WTF?<p>3) It shows me ads. Note - it&#x27;s not like the App store which opens to a list of &quot;what&#x27;s hot&#x2F;what&#x27;s new&#x2F;what&#x27;s promoted&quot;. It launches, I go to click on something and an ad for a game pops up in a separate window blocking the interface.<p>4) It shows me ads for games that don&#x27;t work on any system I&#x27;ve ever used Steam on.<p>5) Support from Valve is non-existent. If you try to get support for a game, they will by default tell you it&#x27;s the game vendor&#x27;s fault, even before figuring out what the problem is. If you try to use their support forums, you <i>are required</i> to use a different login and password than the one you use for the store. WTF? Why would they ever do that?<p>The list goes on. It&#x27;s just a terrible app. In my opinion the Mac App Store is lightyears ahead of it in just about every dimension I care about. I no longer use Steam when there&#x27;s any other option available.
