Without taking away from the great things they are also doing, I'm mostly amazed at how bad and laggy the Steam app is, and has been for years, on all 3 platforms I've used it on.

(I'm sure there are loads of people who have never had any issues but to me that's like people saying there are no problems with Linux on the desktop because they don't have any problems.)

It could be improved yes, but that’s an acceptable kind of issues. Steam’s important functionality works well and is reliable - package management for games. It doesnt spy on me, doesn't push crap, doesnt use dark patterns. We need more apps like steam tbh.

I wouldn't say it works well. On some machines it takes ages to start up and will always say it's updating even though it isn't. The ingame browser that is used to view the store breaks often and thenI can't open it inside Steam at all. On Macos, the system menu completely stops working most of the time and I can't exit the app normally, I have to kill it instead.

OK, the core functionality of downloading and running games works. But I think we can expect a little bit more from a billion dollar company.

not acceptable when other stores did it. I guess that's my problem with the steam fanbase at times. Almost cult like how it upplayes the benefits and downplays the flaws.
