I just read some of the stuff on the site. The cache folder contains steam's virtual file system, so basically, the content steam is delivering. It's not where your game goes. It's where the pertinant info is stashed until it's needed. It gets rid of old data to maximize the empty space, and adds new stuff as it's needed.

At least, that's what it sounds like.


Where I'm pissed is that it needs you to auth to connect to a friggin lan game. wtf? That's just crass. "Duh Why would you not have internet acces from your lan? guhh". Idiots. Now I can't even have a LAN party without some way of asking mommy if it's okay. ****ers.

Untill this poorly planned (or just magnificently pathetic attempt at evil) came about, I could have hosted a CAKE microLAN at my cottage. It would have been comparable to The Second Coming, but no, I have to sit on my thumbs instead, because valve didn't think about that.

Given how stupid all these problems are, I bet they haven't even thought about what happens when they release something, and people are playing. I bet they haven't even realized how annoying it is when somebody forgets to turn kazaa tf off before playing.

grr... progressive conservative ad campaigns and no play make Wha? a dull boy.
