I can't say Steam veteran or smth, but I know Steam since 2005. It worked pretty well for me until 2007, when this new Steam community beta came in with all these Trading Cards, badges and other stuff. If I had to list things, which I hate on Steam, it would be:

  • Trading Cards (I used to collect them and craft badges, but I see now it didn't make any sense, it was just a money waste)
  • Attention seekers who collect friends just to circle jerk about their content and gather thumbs up to feature it on the irrelevant community hubs (Final Fantasy artworks on Dark Messiah hubs, unrelated memes, anime and so on)
  • Copy pasta spreaded everywhere just to hunt for unjustified attention (youtube videos as a gifs, which arent their works).
  • Mods who dont care about swearing in posting. User can say "FUCK YOU OP" and even if it gets reports, mods never look at it.
  • I got harassed by some idiot who trolled me with "green envelope bug". The guy was posting somewhere on my posts, content (dunno where) and delete it soon after. I was getting shitloads of green envelope notifications on Steam. When I clicked on them I have only seen "This thread has been moved or deleted". When I reported this bug on the forums, they said they won't help me, because I got bans on couple game forums 3 or 4 years ago. Support didn't respond either. It happened to me about 5 months ago.
  • Bronies, furries, weirdos, trolls, foot fetishes are fucking everywhere. I guess they didn't grow up to use this platform yet.
  • Steam Market full of bots, greedy people and of course trade system full of scammers.
  • Increasingly growth of cancerous Steam groups. I still wonder how they weren't banned yet. Is it fucking 4chan?
  • Pretenders, false people and elitists.

Some might say - welcome to the Internet. Well, I thought the difference between Internet and Steam is the ability to control, but it seems it didn't work out.

I think it's time to move on.

Welcome to the Internet.

I have nothing against people going to GOG. I like GOG and hang at the forum there (the SG forum and the GOG forum are my two major haunts). Still, feels like an overreaction to me.

I've been on Steam for years, always with a private profile. I don't trade, rarely read the forums, don't care much about other people (although I have my share of "friends", mainly people I gifted something to), and my main encounter with trading cards is getting them during sales in selling them for a total of $1-2, which I then put into games.

The point is, if you use Steam as a store and gaming client, and not as a social platform, then your problems go away.

Is this your way of going out with a bang? One final troll for the road? I guess it worked on some people.

If you would want to move on, you wouldn't have made this thread, but instead just moved on.
Dragging the s*** you want to move away behind you - this is not, how you move on in life.

There is a LOT wrong with steam you have not even listed.

I really really wish I never bought into steam and stuck with my guns to be 100% drm-free.

I certainly do hope this is a good move as it being the internet, going to another area might not exactly help.

I don't care about these community's stuff. Like someone has said: it has nothing to do with us. Just play your games.
What I don't like about Steam is the DRM. Oh, how I hate that Steam client! I just want to download the .deb installer, Christ.
One (the only) thing I like about Steam is steamgifts. Gifting and receiving games is so cool.

There's a wishlist on GOG about an OpenID thing: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/openid
Maybe if GOG implemented it, we could see giveaway sites like steamgifts for GOG keys haha

but... you just have small library on steam... and you just make account on 2015?... so... if you have another account before so you must have VAC ban?... or?...

my last question, why you make this thread?... if you want to leave steam and then move gog, just go ahead no one care.

Guys i'm not saying that "steam its the best freaking platform, lets go lick gaben's balls". For me, its the cheapest, im my current currency, sometimes, nuuvem.com overcomes it. I'm talking like a gamer customer. I go where its the cheapest.

Sometimes where its cooler. Or where my friends already are. Just gonna be polite. Everyone deserves respect, even the most awkward or annoying.

People need to learn how to give a fuck to annoying people. Just ignore them.

Best wishes to all of you.

Alright. I see some of you made constructive arguments behind this topic. I kinda overreacted. Sorry about that. The best way is just ignore community things and I'll do it. Thanks for your feeback.

How about just play the games and forget about the rest?
Make your profile private (check!)
Unfriend everybody.
Don't visit Steamgifts.
Play games.

Ignore groups, the market, cards, friends, etc. You know-- back to Steam 2006. :)
