valve pisses me off, it ruined the beginning of half life 2 for me because i was so pissed off by it's system i played it whilst annoyed.
It's a good idea for many people but they really pissed me off alot!
first off it wouldn't accept my code and said i had to buy a new copy of the game after about a month of dragging me on and said there is no way to resolve my problem. After finally fixing it .. i could play but i was pissed off...
I was shut off my network by my dad at night and i knew they had introduced an offline availability to play their products.. so i decided to go offline..
i tried to but it said sorry we can't connect you at this time ...
how can they connect i'm trying to go offline.. so i tried pressing "retry" and it said, sorry you will have to visit "blah blah blah" to find out details ..
this really pissed me off .. and i'm wondering what are your views of steam/valve and the respect, or lack thereof you have for their ideas ...

I wasn't very fond of Steam when it first came out... its hard to change something you've used for a long time.
Compared to Quake 1, I thought HL was shit for Team Fortress. i hated it at first and thought valve ruined TF., but then it was good when I got used to the slower gameplay.
What pissed me off about Valve was that I had to buy DoD:Source hahahah, I wanted it to be freeeeeeee
I've never had any problems with the CDkey though..

I hate them very much but they're actraully quite stupid
So first I played HL1 and all those other valve games for like a year, so I finally got off my ass and figured out how to get CS. All that time all I needed was staem. I was like Shwoot!!! So when its all installed and stuff I type in my CS cdkey "Already Taken" I was lik err... tried it 5 more times "Already Taken try again" so I grab my ALL my other CDKeys (HL1, Teamfortress, BlueShift, Oppising Force) "Already Taken" "Already Taken" blah blah blah. I'm extremely annoyed by this point so I just give up and send them message after message for about a month when my friend is finally like "You want a free CS cdkey?" "i was like YEA!!!" So I put it in and played for a little while. Then they (Valve people) come to the conclusion that i'm "hacking" so all my steam games are VAC Banned. What is up with that? I dont even use hacks. So in frustration I somehow stepped on the power off buttton on my powerstrip cutting off the power to my computer. I turn back on and i'm not banned anymore. Kinda strange but great luck
