Most people don't hate the games, but the Steam Client itself. In my case, it's frustrating to try and join a CS:S server. I click on a server, nothing happens, I click again, it pops up the info box. I click it again, and it starts to connect, only to time out 5 seconds later. And if I CAN connect to a server, it takes forever. The same thing happens to updates, as in it always times out for me or else takes forever.
Here's an entertaining little gif: 
Personally I HATE steam. I love HL2 I can't get enough of Counter Strike: Source but all in all steam causes nothign but frustration. I hate how it starts up on startup. I hate how it failes to connect to server ar adds all the extra hastle into connection. It is to much extra baggage and very much of a pain.
I also dislike the idea behind steam. I hate how I can not buy sell or trade any Valve games, I dislike how they won't let me move my CS 1 & HA 1 onto the same accoutn that has my HL2.... No. No sir I do not like ti at all... And I actually use that gif as my sig on another forum... Have a matchign avatar too! 
ya i hate the steam client too ... why do they create that ... in the old days we could just simply connect to a online server in the game .. so much frustration with steam... let me tell you, i;ve never played cs using steam ... just because my connection is so slow that the update takes forever ... come on, give me a break, i just want to play games .. sierra .. why make this so complicated?
Steam sux i dunno why the *BEEP* valve came up with this stupid program.. i get like 10000 ping on servers that i usually have like 15 20 ... it sux big time i hate steam
Good -Very easy to update! No more waiting on lines to dl updates anymore -Can easily install/register new games if you bought them -Can easily install mods. -Can use this program to look at servers from many different games. Then click, and play! Bad -Updates cause people to get messed up. -Valve never gives the GOOD updates, that the people WANT. *cough Vac2 *cough -Some wierd errors when you load sometimes -Can't just simply connect to a server, have to go through steam -FRIENDS LIST would be good, if it worked EVER. This thing NEVER works, I dont even know why its still in! -Loading times are longer for games because of Steam. -Cheating is a big issue.. but it always was. -All the banned people on old CS got unbanned on steam. As you can see, there are good and bad aspects of Steam. I personally dont mind using it, but maybe thats because steam doesn't give my computer much trouble. I've heard and seen stories that are horrifying with steam. If valve took the time to shorten loading times, make updates more reliable, fixed cheating issues, and friends then MAYBE it would be a excellent program. For valve, Steam is a gold mine. They dont even have to have someone to sell their games anymore, they can do it right off of steam. - LF 
ya steam does sucks but i guess it works for them..but it really made me mad when they shut down 1.5 ooo i was about to kick some valvey' ass lol hahaha.i was so mad man..i just bought a server then they shut it down...garrr ef!that!haha
QUOTE(LalalaMe @ May 14 2005, 12:57 AM) Why do some people hate steam... I reckon its fun, what do you think?  Steam is a great invension from the game companies point of view. It eliminates almost 100 % of game stealing because each key has to be registered with the company. It provides the easiest and fastest way to bringn updates and additions to the gamers so they dont yell at you... But what do gamers think of all this.... We hate it. Steam is unstable and causes way to many issues. When it game out those of us with REAL cs keys got beat to registring them to those who hacked it, we had to go out and buy the game again. The friends system on steam never connects no matter what you try and do and even when it does... its down for maintenance for about 11 outa 12 months. And older versions of the game cant be used because you have to uptade to play. QUOTE(LalalaMe @ May 13 2005, 08:57 PM) Why do some people hate steam... I reckon its fun, what do you think? Well why they hate steam is this. it screws it up at the start. you should just be able to click CS:S then be able to play it...
The thing is, when Steam came out, many people were still using dial-up connection, which is usually differs from 28.8Kb/s to 56Kb/s. If you try to download steam on that kind of internet, it will cost you hours of painfull reconnections, crashes, disconnects and so on. Everytime the new update come out, you have to waste time again, because judge yourself: to download 10 mb on a diulup takes about 1hour which is really slow, and most of the first steam updates were even bigger, so you can imagine how annoying that was for people that used to peacefully play their game without any time wasted.

What I like about steam is that if you lost your CD somewhere in your house, got new computer, or reformat your computer, it will always be in your account. What I don't like about steam is that it takes long to login, takes long to join a server, friend list usually go offline by itself, and hackers.
Their anti-hack isn't that good much. Only if they can catch all hacks people been using and just ban those who hacks. So that way it'll be funner to play.
I prefer not using steam whenever I can, but I really have nothing bad to say about the service. I simply don't trust it maintaining my rights to the software I buy, especially seeing as how it has to be maintained through the Steam system and how the offline mode is a joke when it comes to controlling your games without an internet connection.
Yeah yeah, I know, we're fast approaching the next decade and concerns about having sufficient offline services seems antiquated, but I come from a background in IT where I feel you can never be too prudent or careful in regards to your system, your software, and the flexibility your have regarding the two. You never know when you may lose internet for whatever reason, or have to rebuild your OS entirely due to a catastrophe. Furthermore, there's no guarantee that Steam will stick around for the long haul, and if it were to disappear or go offline, what could you do about the games you bought through it? That's hardly something anybody has to worry about at this moment, but I'm just saying.
I hate steam
Steam I hate steam as well, I mostly hate it because you cant mod them games on steam, hell if I cant mod it I would have geting the game for PS3 or Xbox 360, and here is a good question "How can you tell if the game needs Steam before you buy it from a game store?" -reply by Davidheat1088
Spent 13 hours downloading the FEAR 2 update, baught the game, after 2 hours of installing steam clients and 40 kinds of verifications I want to play. Guess what? Manual patching doesnt work with STEAM no no, I have to redownload THIER version of the update, not to mention I cant even play the game I paid for before I have done so. Looking foward to the next 13 hours, last time I ever spend money on a game that has anything remotely to do with STEAM's crap. This is supposed to stop people from pirating? ROFL, yeah whatever helps you sleep at night.
