Yes, it looks pretty bad, and it makes Valve look like a bunch of amateurs. And this is coming from someone who generally likes what they do.

The thing is they always do shit like this. Steam had tons of problems in the early days. And remember when Greenlight was launched? Total shitshow. Valve doesn't always think things through all the way, but eventually, they work out the bugs and the result ends up being pretty damn good.

Sure, but they are not like in the early days, they have experienced people now, and tons of cash, and should not be making the same mistakes over and over again like they were beginners or something. It just reflects badly on the whole company.
