Steam problems - worth getting worked up about?

[Woodsey]

Fuck me you're a vicious bunch.

Annoying? Yes. Should it have happened? No. Does this happen often? No.

Mistakes happen, it's run by humans, wait a few days for the CD key, and if you put the issue in the Steam forums then Valve will likely run across it.

Congratulations on proving once again how horrible stam is.

So glad I don't have to use it...

I'm not knocking steam at all. All and all for what its worth i think its a decent service, I enjoy steam. I have a fair to decent library through steam probably twenty games or so and this is the first time anything like this has happened to me.

wait a few days for the CD key, and if you put the issue in the Steam forums then Valve will likely run across it.

Yea thought about posting about it but in past experience bitching about tech issues on forums has gotten me nowhere. (Looking at you EA)
What's this about a CD key? Please explain how this could help, cause a re-install of the steam client whatever you'd call it did nothing.

DRM, how we loathe you

Can't argue with that. The only way I was able to play Mass Effect 2 was to download a third-party, "no-DVD" hack.

Slight necro here. K real fast..

So i DL'd beyond good and evil and plants v.s. zombies. Never had an issue with steam before been using it for quite some time now. And yes my computer meets Miles beyond the system requirements max settings..Haven't checked them.. but trust me it does. And yea I've looked aroudn the steam help forums. That being said my problem here is simple video glitches, lines in the screen, occasional flashes, skips etc basic gfx glitches. Has anyone else experienced this with steam dl's? And how did you fix it? Yes my drivers are up to date. that was actually my best guess was that newer dirvers aren't compatible with older games.. happens sometimes. ::shrug:: maybe a bad corrupt DL? No idea. I'm going ot re-install but in the meantime...Any suggestions?

Necro bumps r bad, k?

Read this [http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2563155/steam_aftermath_beyond_good_and_evil.html?cat=15], and hopefully that should fix your Beyond Good & Evil woes.

The "product" key even - isn't that what they haven't got enough of?
