Steam mods were a shitshow on every end, the mod authors got very little revenue and there was absolutely no quality control.

Steam greenlight also opened the flood gates and meant that steam, a place you once could pick almost any game and go "that's decent" became a site you had to research before buying any game, getting your game on steam was a mark of quality before, as ridiculous as that sounds.

Not to mention that nothing works quite right. Every time i confirm a trade offer it gives me an error message, but still goes through. And I always use trade offers because the actual trades are less reliant than a broken clock.

Also, paid for, limited time use, sprays in CS:GO is pretty much as bad of a microtransaction as you can get before it starts having an actual impact on the game.

TF2's current development is a shitshow on all ends, the game has a ton of weapons that are useless and a couple really really strong ones, not to mention it runs worse than in 2007 and has many, many, bugs. Oh yeah, and the bi-monthly comic, is something they've waited on for more than a year now.

Also half-life as a franchise is completely ignored, who cares that a beloved franchise ended on a cliffhanger when they have the most successful game distribution platform!

I could go on but I think this is long enough
