Now I maybe see them once a week and a half, with 5 to scroll through, 4 of which are old.

Furthermore, Steam itself doesnt eat resources if you have it running in the background, so I don't see your laptop argument at all.

P.S. At least pick a manly game that requires skills from back in the day like Quake or UT, don't be a countard and discredit yourself by saying HL2 sucks.

You will see those when you log on steam, if there are new ones.

My argument? I just don't want to install steam on my laptop. Why should I install it there? That is if steam would not force you to install even if you buy a game from a retail store.

HL and HL2 are propably the worst shooters I have ever played. They are just so boring.

May I quote your post scriptum on my sig? I just love that manly part.

That is simply not true, because I never see them when I log on from a restart. As I stated above, I only see them when I exit from a game I launched from steam, and even that doesn't always work. As I said, I have been pissed at deals I have missed before.

As for the laptop, it doesn't cost you anything. Steam is lightweight, though the new version not so much as before but it's still a minimal amount, far less than my browsers take (especially Chrome in terms of RAM eaten up), and uses less CPU than most of the core services you are running on windows.

Go ahead.

P.S. If you want to make money back from games why don't you just go ahead and pirate them? The developer doesn't see any money from the sale/copy anyhow.
