I've just had problems with it. It's been slow, hard to close, annoying to navigate... I don't know, maybe it's just me. But I've hated every second of using it, as opposed to Steam's relatively streamlined performance and UI.


I have more trouble with Steam being slow. :shrug:

That's waaaaay too invasive.

I mean, weren't some companies looking at adding in advertisemants into the games directly, like on billboards and such for racing games and open world games? Maybe they're tracking down that you like to visit Facebook, and on Facebook, you like Katy Perry, so they put a billboard in the game next time you play advertising Katy Perry concert tickets.

....actually, I wouldn't mind blowing up Katy Perry's face.
