i did read your whole post. i just went back and skimmed it again as well. im just saying that if all you really wanted was to have the games in the same directory you could have just put them there.

congrats on installing steam though.

Good job taking an hour of your day to make a topic that has been discussed 100 times, and is over.

It is so funny to me that some hard core gamers like "Bawx" get ballzy and is being a condescending a-hole to some one who took a lot of time and had the respect of this forum to format and itemize a topic neatly only to be ridiculed. So what, this topic has already come up. We understand that you are still carrying around the emotional scars from high school from being picked on and not having any friends but it does not give you license to be a jerk!

Steam is great if you have a faster DSL connection or Cable modem. But try to download games at 768kb like my connection :(

Mine usually download between 300-350kb/s. Not a big deal. I just do something in the mean time and be sure to back up my steam folder so I don't have to re-download them all

Your connection is much better than mine, my download speed is usually 80 to 110kb.

The one issue that I have with Steam is the ease with which they can lock you out of your account. I purchased a Borderlands DLC for less than $7 when it was on sale, and completed it. 3 months later my credit card company (Capital One) found that there was an error in the approval process for the charge that was on the vendor's side so the charge was reversed, therefore making the purchase invalid. When this happened I was locked out of my account, and therefore all of my games were rendered useless. Close to $1000 worth of games were then unplayable, and nontransferable to another account even though they had nothing to do with Borderlands.

Eventually (4 weeks later) they cut me a break and allowed me to purchase the DLC again to make good on the account. It took a LOT of phone calls to my credit card company and a lot of correspondence with Steam to get this to happen and it's made me nervous about buying games from them online.

I'm not sure I can really believe that story. I have a couple of friends who have had similar issues and steam has sorted them out in a couple of minutes. Not only that but they were given free games to make up for the issue.

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
