Rant ahoy!
Ever since Steam (from Valve) has been around, I've always been astonished by how little they actual do. I wonder if anyone is in charge of it at all. Anyone else notice that?
I can't really express how bad of a job I think they do, I guess you just have to use the "service" for a while to see for yourself.
For example, they took around 2 years to get their "Friends list" thing working. How could that of taken 2 years to do? - And it was the exact same when it started working again. Even if one guy was working on it, it seems like it should of been completed in no longer than a month. I only have one friend that uses Steam so I don't use it much anyways, but it's pretty sad how long it took them (or him) to fix it.
Another thing that's really bugged me is the non working Mute button that has been around since Steam launched. You can't mute anyone, people can just spam racist crap as much as they want, and you can't mute them. I'm surprised they actually thought about putting in a Mute feature in the first place, but they never actually bothered to try and get it working. All you can do is mute voice, people can spam text, or radio commands all they want, and you can't do anything about it. This has been the case since Steam launched 3 or 4 years ago. Of all the games that need a Mute button, CS and CS:S would be the top two. But, the people (or person) at Steam has never bothered to try and fix or implement this feature. If some idiots keep spamming text/radio commands, your only option is to find a different server. So, the bad folks on Steam pretty much just do whatever they want, including hacking. Again, this has been the case since Steam launched, amongst thousands and thousands of complaints. Steam just doesn't care, i tells yas.
Hacking is still rampant as ever in CS, Steam/Valve does nothing about it. I've sent them concrete evidence of people hacking and their Steam ID information, and they probably never even look at it. Months later I see the same people, still hacking, playing on the same servers. Steam either completely stopped caring within the first year, or, like I suspect, no one actually works there, and no one is in charge of it - That's really the only logical explanation I can come up with, sadly. I'm really hoping the whole Steam project gets axed, which it rightly deserves. It needs to be shut down like a bankrupt factory. Hopefully if that happens, Valve can actually hire some competent people to start a similar service. Only, this time, they could actually fix issues that have been around 3+ years, and listen more to their users, and ban hackers forever. Maybe this fantasy future service could actually even improve more and more as time goes on, unlike Steam, which is a service that gets worse and worse.
They are in charge of managing these immensely popular games like CS, and they just sit back and do nothing all day, all year even. Like I said, it's like no one even works there.
Can anyone prove people actually work for Steam?
