    I hate that it steals the focus like 5 times when launching. I’ll try to click off to do something while it’s starting, but it steals input focus. I get doing it once when the app finishes loading, but I really don’t need to stare at the startup progress bar.

      Steam, as a program, has fundamentally gotten worse with every update ever since they switched to electron/chromium

      remember for a while they tried to take small mode away from us.

      cause they are going down the same route that everything goes. Its gotten popular, so now they are trying to turn it into a social media platform.

      I dont want a social media playform. theres already enough of those. I just want a small, slick, low resource, easy to use, quick to load program to buy my games and launch them.

        Steam has always been a social gaming platform…in fact it wasn’t even always a storefront.

        Small mode? I had completely forgotten that it existed. I didn’t know anyone used that.

          it had utility, it would reduce ram usage, make the program more usable. But now it doesn’t because it’s all fucking electron, so it’s literally useless.

          Same, never heard of it, but now I want it.

          I agree with the poster, I don’t want any of that social nonsense, I just want to play games. As long as they keep developing Proton, I can forgive quite a lot.
