People wonder why I hate steam?

Not the steam from a steam room, coffee pot, bathtub but the steam that supplies games.

1. They change the revisions of games for no reason at all. Example Dungeon Siege 1 has a retail version number of 1.11.1462 or below
The steam version is 2.0 There is no difference in the size of any of the game files.
2. They store the game in a folder of their own instead of where it should go.
3. Their tech support sucks and they will not answer any logical questions as to why they changed the version numbers of DS1 and DS2 or why they do not have a version of broken world oh well

Hah! I think 1 and 3 are likely the publisher's doing rather than Steam itself. 2 however...yeah...sometimes it's ok sometimes it drives you crazy. :P

However techie I do believe that there is a difference in not only revision number between the retail and the steam versions but a content difference which might not be apparent if you where not attempting to use the legendary mod, see my next blog entry.

oh yes and hello sounds as if you have been really busy.

I use steam for like 95% of my PC games. Except Any DS games, all my Dungeon siege games I own are either olde disk's I found while going through my attic or copy's off of amazon. In my opinion steam is fine but I tend to not buy old games like dungeon siege on steam, they just cant sell old games without doing SOMETHING to them.
