Why I Deleted My Steam Account After 20 Years

Why I Deleted My Steam Account After 20 Years

Some may know me from over a decade worth of modding broken, under-performing or otherwise inconvenient aspects of PC ports. Dedicated users of Special K also know that I have spent as much time battling problems caused by Steam as I have defects in the games themselves.

My experience with PC gaming goes back a further two decades, to the days of shareware, dialing into a BBS to get game patches / user generated content and tedious DRM fetch-quests involving physical game manuals. I was irritated when Half-Life 2 shipped on PC and required a dedicated piece of software to satisfy DRM and patch the game, but at the time these were minor inconveniences. Valve tried to quell concerns of software preservation with the first of a long series of lies wherein they claimed to have a contingency plan for the DRM scheme reaching end-of-life.

   Steam's DRM scheme has reached end-of-life multiple times without the promised parachute.

In 2002, the cl

Introduction

Blockchains don't scale. The fact that all nodes process all transactions means that the blockchain only goes as fast as the slowest node allowed on the network. If that's something like a Raspberry Pi, then that's as fast as the blockchain goes.

And that's okay! The upside is that the more people can run nodes, the more resilient the blockchain will be. It's much harder to break a 10,000-node blockchain where most nodes run on home computers all across the world than a 10,000-node blockchain where most nodes run in a few datacenters.
