With Steam, when you buy a game it is only playable in the Profile that purchased it. On the Xbox we can have multiple profiles on one Xbox, each with their own save(s) and their own sets of achievements, and if we buy a download game for it, all the profiles on that Xbox can play them. It's a nuisance to buy anything with Steam.On top of all that, Steam comes across as an attempt to be something like the Xbox, but it's DRM is more restrictive and that's highly disappointing. Worse, if you get 6 pages in, then click on an app to read about it and then click the back arrow, you don't end up on page 6, you end up back on page 1! That's not a good way to encourage use of your application.Also that you can't paste into the password field (or any other field) is another way to discourage purchases. You can't just scroll through the list.

It stopped half-way through and hung, so I had to force-quit it.The UI is horrendous. I understand that there seems to be 'love flowing over' because Valve is great and people are just so excited this is 'finally available for the Mac!!'But it's an absolutely terrible application, and that is what is being reviewed here, not Valve, not any of the games that run on it, but Steam, and Steam for Mac is horrible:- Takes a ridiculously long amount of time to launch on the latest MBP- Puts itself on your list of login items without asking- Installs stuff into ~/Documents instead of ~/Library/Application Support/SteamIn my experience it wasn't even able to complete the basic task of downloading a game (Portal). When I can get stuff that's just for me and is super cheap, I'll buy it, but no way am I ever going to pay full price for anything on Steam - it's not worth it.This is a terrible application. I also own a copy of Team Fortress 2 which I bought a while back when they had it on sale for a ridiculously low price, and I'm looking forward to when they enable that on the Mac. That's ridiculous.Still, Portal was free and I got it and it was great. I'm not going to buy any games on Steam that I think my kids would want to play because there's no way I'm going to buy 3 copies of it just so they can have their own achievements.

Yes, they'll probably clean that up at some point. That's just my preference).I particularly didn't enjoy the bugginess of the Steam app (thanks for nothing AGAIN, Adobe!) and the forced storage in my Documents folder. When I clicked 'remember password', where does it store it? Not in the Keychain, I have no idea, and I bet it's storing it somewhere in plaintext.Conclusion: slow, broken, possibly insecure, and violates most OS X conventions.Anyone have some insight into how to completely UNinstall Steam and Portal?I downloaded them both (since you need a game to really test this app), found both to be sluggish on my system (love the way they don't bother to tell you the system requirements till AFTER you have downloaded the game), don't like AIR apps, don't like the Steam interface AT ALL, and Portal was (IMHO) lame (I'd be much more into something like Torchlight.

Is this really on-demand gaming?Steam is set to auto-run at startup by default, which is pretty ballsy, but at least you can easily turn this off. Maybe it'll be done by the time I get home. I don't know why, but I resumed and went to work. This morning Portal still hadn't downloaded because it was suspended for some reason. It took me a few tries to figure out how to download Portal (though that could be my own failing) but when I did I needed to restart the app to 'enable the update'? What does that even mean? It then crashed on me twice while downloading and browsing the store simultaneously so I just left it and went to bed. Now I acknowledge that this was probably the only way they'd bother getting a port for OSX, but it looks like it was designed by a 2-bit Flash developer and seems to barely work.

Minimizing, flashing windows) are everywhere. Windows-esque references (e.g. What a piece of crap.It's extremely slow and horribly non-native and unintuitive. I don't know what the Windows setting is, but I imagine it's got to be somewhere more logical.All said, it is an app that reeks of sloppy decision making and implementation but hopefully over time it'll mature because at this point I don't know if it's worth my time and effort.Downloaded it and.

The Documents folder is sacrosanct, you asshats - put your application support files in, I don't know, '~/Library/Application Support/Steam'?Crap like this has no business being on the Mac. It's also something I haven't seen done since AppleWorks in the late 90's. Trying to play it just brings up another tiny modal window that seemingly does nothing - but hey, I've given up 400MB of my disk so far for this!All content is being downloaded to a 'Steam Content' folder in ~/Documents, instead of to ~/Library where it belongs - this is going to screw with a bunch of people's backup strategies to be sure. Seriously, after trying to install Portal several times and just getting a blank screen (web screens for user interface - the cheap and shitty way out of UI design!), I finally checked my game library and there it was.

And on top of it all, I never managed to actually load a game (Portal), so all of the frustration of using this abomination of a system has been for nothing.
