I fucking hate Steam. Screw forced updates, DRM, not being able to choose where each game gets installed, or the “we assoooome that you’re always on lol” mentality. I use it mostly due to a few games, but I don’t buy shit from it, and I’m seriously considering to pirate pirating right now the games that I own just to get rid of Steam.
And even if I weren’t getting rid of Steam right now, I’d rather use a small proprietary blob over a free system than a full-blown proprietary system.
