You also have to re-log in to Steam every fucking time.

This is the craziest part. They really make you feel uncomfortable and not really part of the system. You are just a subscription and nothing more, you get nothing, you own nothing, and you might as well give up and keep paying for a service you might be able to use

I was on the founder plan for a while because 50/year to keep an eye on the state of the tech wasn't a huge deal, and there was plenty of stuff my MacBook wasn't really powerful enough for but could tolerate the lag.

But the whole log-in process was way too much of a barrier for me to actually use it routinely.

That's not true, it was an issue for a bit, but hasn't been for a very long time.

Source: Just cancelled my ultimate plan that I've had for a few years. I mostly used it to play windows only steam games on my Mac

It was less than 6 months ago when I finally cancelled.

Not just every gaming session. Literally every single time I switched games. Not one single exception.

That's really weird because it worked perfectly fine for me and many others. I've literally played every day the last few weeks with satisfactory and randomly over the past few years with other Steam games with very few sign in issues.
