    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 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.
