what went wrong?
It became laggy, unresponsive bloatware.
Mobile Greenlight games
shit sales, steam cards, facebook integration, green light. It's gotten so much worse the past few years I don't know how it can recover. If it weren't for most people having too much of a library on it I feel like they'd have abandoned it.
You can't migrate your shit off it once purchased. I'd be way happier using it if steam didn't need to be running for me to play most of the games I've 'bought' on it.
Also it has a pretty significant monopoly on the platform now. A bunch of new PC releases are exclusively on steam, they don't even release physical media any more.
I hope if STEAM ever sells off or shits the bed or whatever they'll release some patch that makes it so you can still play all the games you've purchased, but who am I kidding.

add me up losers
Let's see
No paid online
Can buy new releases at 35-40 bucks since steam allows keys to be sold to the gray market
Can refund games after trying them for less 2 hours
Literally nothing went wrong
nothing really, I just want a nice summer sale

Other than that it's fine

Not a whole lot. For someone that has more or less monopolized the PC market, they haven't really abused that position too much.
They're really being negligent about it though. It's not bad but it could be better, and beyond the bare minimum bugfixes and fucking VR shit, they aren't putting a whole lot of effort into improving it, stuff like:
>holding devs accountable for Early Access titles. Yes sometimes they really do need years to finish the game due to team size and whatnot, but on many EA titles the devs just drop off the radar. In that case there has to be some way for someone to alert Valve that someone is selling a product that is a). not finish, and b). probably not ever going to be finished, on their platform
>some way to tell you how well a given game would run on your hardware. Surely there is some sort of way they could implement an FPS counter, aggregate data and tell you "people with hardware similar to you ran the game at 56.7 av. FPS" or whatever
>the mobile confirmation shit. Yes I get that complete fucking idiots get scammed/hacked even with the dozen or so safeguards they put in place but there has to be a better way than making me confirm each and ever $0.10 card I want to sell
>a way to filter out games in a search
