Valve exhibits just as much face-palming stupidity as the rest of them, we're just more tight-lipped about it because of how comparatively tiny the Steam community is.
Is...is that it? Steam is bad cause you can't change the font size?
Of course not - it's an example! But it is utterly mindblowing that any application, much less one built to service a demographic using the highest resolution monitors, wouldn't let you change the font size. It makes you wonder if Valve employees actually use their own software at home. It's out of touch, just like how they don't support multiple hard drives, when the current trend for the past few years is to put in a larger general hard drive and a smaller solid state one. Many gaming rigs actually utilize multiple solid state drives and run into the same problem.

Then there's the lag on the voice chat. The in-game interface not compatible with every game automatically. Cloud save issues. Download slowdowns. I could make a longer list, I just thought it would be redundant.

I never said Steam was bad. I've been on it since the beginning. Long enough to know a lot of the love it gets is a bit overenthusiastic.
