I hate Steam... seriously. I can only hope and pray that this is not the future of PC gaming. Sorry to the people who put their hard work and time into Steam, but dont make me buy a game(FEAR 2) then wait 6 hours for updates to downoad.
UPDATE 22/04/2013
Steam may not be as lousy as it once was but it still updates itself far too often...but I will begrudgingly admit to the fact that it is not the worst thing to happen to PC gaming.
