Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: This is why I fucking HATE steam!

[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"]I visited that link. It reminds me of Half-Life or similar sandbox-style games, then the video mentions I can either buy the game for $12 or download the free demo. So I decided to try that, it tells me I need to have Steam activate the download, similar to the way my e-mail will tell me when I check a voice mail from Magicjack I can download the file and either save the file or send it directly to VLC, which is what I usually do. So, after I download a 110 Megabyte file - and I don't know if this is the game or it has to upgrade Steam by 110 MB - it asks me if I want to log in to Steam, then I try and it fails. So I tried again through Steam and <i>now</i> it tells me the fucking demo is <i>816 megabytes</i>. What the hell was the 110 megabytes just I downloaded, a virus or a rootkit? But beyond that... <font size=+3>THE FUCKING <em>DEMO</em> is 816 MEGABYTES?</font> Jesus H. Suffering Christ, how big is the goddam <i>game?!</i> If it wasn't for the fact Comcast's transfer limit is 250 gigabytes per month I'd be worried.[/quote]
