    You can actually limit your download rate now, which is great. It's in settings under download tab.

    Yea, definitely. It's always "it's not MY connection" with whiners like OP. I've downloaded probably hundreds of games from Steam, considering I've downloaded many of my games multiple times, and it never fails to max out my connection which is 24mb/s these days.

    Steam Client? I love it.

    No more "Where the hell did I put that disc? I was sure I put it back in it's correct box!"

    My only gripe? Stop with the sales already! My poor wallet (j/k)
    Back to your bridge, you evil Troll!

    I have very very few problems with Steam, at the start of this sale I had some issues paying (pls pls take my money!) but other than that I love it.

    I only have ME3 in Origin and never had a problem there either.

    Don't like to bring down hopes but I highly doubt Bnet client will go beyond Blizzard's games. If you're into conspiracies, then it might turn into Activision's "Origin".

    Steam is fine, unlike origin.

    No ads, rarely lag.
    Though, i would like more control over which games it auto updates or not.

    Origin is from EA.
    You know? Electronic Arrrrsssse.

    I know that, hence the quote. In case you misunderstood, I meant that Bnet would be to Activision what Origins is to EA. Not that I actually believe it.

    Blizzard doesn't really have enough ground to make another platform like that, even EA's platform is highly questioned by many.
    Steam is good at what it does, because it is good at what it does.

    EA just made it because they didn't want to pay the 30% cut to Valve. In the end they are cutting their own feet because many gamers refuse to install their bloated spyware.
    Funny thing is, Apple takes a 30% cut off any apps in the iStore as well.

    Not sure about the M$ or google play markets, but I suspect they take a cut just as well.

    What you said could not have been interpreted that way.


    But if it's any consolation, both of you bashers sound equally stupid.

    Never had any issues with either Steam, Origin or Uplay lately.

    Only issue with Origin at this point besides being expensive is people still being paranoid thinking it is spyware. It used to be but they changed their ToS and how their program works in regards to what it scans a while ago regarding that and if you wireshark it ( a software that tracks what is being sent through your network protocols, you need to have decent technical networking knowledge to operate it properly though ) while browsing the web it do not send anything identifiable over what so ever as well with there being options now to shut off the data sharing it is now limited to.

    My top speed is roughly 11 MBps. Similarly it's also 100 Mbps.

    I wish the offline mode was more reliably friendly but overall I think it's great, wasn't a fan when I first used it (cs1.6 I think) as it didn't seem stable but it was improved quite quickly after that.

    That's my only gripe. Other than that, I feel like its awesome. Met a ton of people through steam as well

    Bought 2 games off steam before OP, never had a problem. About as painless and ordering something from a webshop from my exsperience.
