    Steam Cloud: You dumb bitch.

    I’ve got it disabled and in offline mode and it still yells at me that it can’t sync saves with the cloud.

    Yeah, I fucking know, that was the idea.

      Are you worried about a copy of your saved games in the cloud? I’ve had mine on for years and it makes moving to a new computer super easy.

        Aside from not liking being dependent on a internet connection in the first place and tinfoil hat stuff, it was doing something weird with a partition on my old computer so I just disabled the whole thing and didn’t look back.

            It’s not actually necessary, they’re just really bitchy about taking no for an answer.

              It’s more than Steam is an internet based distribution system. You can’t use steam WITHOUT an internet connection.

                  Bruh, I hate “The Cloud” meme that businesses love today, I selfhost everything I can, but Steam really is a 'Cloud" business. Lots of other people’s computers used to store and distribute video games via a custom application.
