As for me... The only issue I have, is I do think if Steam bans your account, they should either continue giving access to your games, or refund you. But I'm not planning on breaking their terms anyway, so it's not really an issue...
Actually, it does piss me off how buggy some Steam games can be. Take Mount & Blade: Warband for example. I can't play that in offline mode, it crashes in a couple of minutes. My friend has the same problem.
But I think there is much more in it's favour than there is (valid) criticism of it.
Oh yeah. This is actually a huge problem for me right now. It wasn't back at my old home, we had the bandwidth to spare. But now I'm living in Perth, haven't organised an internet plan, I can't play Magicka or TF2. The update system is another stupid thing, is there an option to turn off auto updates without right clicking on every single game? Cause I can't find one. And the fact I can't play a game if it's out of date, is very annoying. Oh, and that when i launch a game, I have to minimise it and resume any downloads Steam was doing.Vault101 said:

THIEF ... ugh when yahtzee tells me something's good I want to try it and that has been one of the few I haven't been able to try via steam (psychonauts is on there ;D)Worr Monger said:
yeah i really have no qualms aside from some game platform compatibility issues and the scant amount of time for the deals ... guess it makes them fun, but what if my paycheck doesn't come in until Thursday and the deal is Tuesday?
When codblops first came out, the psn for known was having a tough time keeping people in groups which really erks me as psn doesn't have party chat (imo xbl's saving grace). With group play being so difficult (I think it's much better now on the psn) I've decided to strictly play fps's on PC as I know the steam communities for most fps's that I want to play are strong.Rem45 said:
I was curious about your psn codblops experiences ... had any problems lately? I might jump on this wknd again for the first time in weeks.
Not every country supports VISA Debit cards. Canada JUST started supporting them November 2010.dathwampeer said:You can use any kind of bank card.Julianking93 said:You need a credit card to play

Surely you must atleast have a current account?

wtf does that mean? XD
Edit:
On topic, my biggest beef is something that has never happened to me, but I've been wary about it since I heard of it. That Steam will lock your account and you will be unable to play any games you purchased on Steam if something happens and your bank does a 'charge back'. To get your account back you have to use the same payment method and account that was used (aka exact same credit card, exact same paypal account, not just the payment method). So I suggest staying away from any prepaid non-reloadable credit cards, as any mixup or problem with the card will cause you to lose your whole account. They do not negotiate with you, and are extremely unhelpful in regards to this. AKA if this happens to you, and you used a prepaid non-reloadable credit card, you are screwed, say goodbye to your Steam Account.
hey Perth! me too!...well Im not there right now but yeah...brunothepig said:I use Paypal. Just get yourself a bank account.Julianking93 said:You need a credit card to play

what do you mean you can't play a game if its out of date? I mean my example with L4d is a good one, because Buy the time I got around to actually playing it it had a ton of updates it needed so therefore 1.9gb worth of data, same for TF2 I don't know if ill ever be able to play it
visa/MasterCard/discover gift certificates work anywhere credit cards are taken.
and btw, if you can get a checking account, u can get a debt card.

There aren't really any games I want to play on steam I get some on sale but they usually turn out to be crap
Ummmm. I'm not sure. This is embarrassing lol. I tried once, and the game just kept crashing, so I assumed it was Steam hating on me. Maybe it was just my laptop... Fuck. Well ok, I totally can play Magicka right now.Vault101 said:
This. The only issue I have with Steam is the hilarious amount of flack I take for supporting it.Deshara said:
