I hate Steam: new Skyrim install ....

Post » Sun May 27, 2012 11:08 pm

Ok, nothing to do with Skyrim ... but it has: did a total un-install of both Skyrim and Steam, wanna do total clean start again after that haze thing I had in Skyrim.
But first Steam was installed and it tried to download the whole game? Even though I did start the install from DVD? After some search I did find how to install from DVD.

Then that piece of crap will not continue the install because the Steam servers are busy ... what the hell?? I have the game on DVD!!!??

Really, that whole Steam nonsense has nothing to do with software protection anymore: you MUST use it to update the game, so you HAVE to go online with steam. And then together with the update some spam is added about some totally uninteresting free game in the My Games part of Steam. Right: so how is some free spam game suddenly a game of mine??

... really can not understand why we are FORCED to use this piece of crap ....

Ok, rant over, lets see if their servers are not busy anymore.
Ah they are not. Install was finally done (first time for me a DVD install of a game took over 15 minutes!!). Oh and now it's updating over the super fast Steam servers with a stunning 200 kB/s ....

Ok, rant is over really now :tongue:
