I check my Steam games every morning for updates. As well as new sales, Greenlights, and browse the workshops. I love not having to update my games myself. Now if I could just get someone to play my Steam games for me... then I could play my other games myself. Why would anyone think that's problem behavior.

  Steam is wonderful.  I get to go and look at all the great stuff I'm busy playing and gloat over immense quaniites of stuff I will never even consider buying.  It's a non-consumption paradise for me. 

  All I'm playing on Steam these days is CLOD, ARMAIII and eventually Hannibalization in Rome II.

It can be done, friends. It can be done. The trail of Steam can be broken. I am new-game free since... um.... sometime after January. I mean the first of January. And they were only small games. I'm trying to be honest.

I quickly found I had more money to start a board-game hobby, buying several hundred dollars worth of games that maybe my nieces would be allowed to play, and capable of playing, one day perhaps. years from now

Why would I want to stop using Steam? I know it has control over my pc and my destiny and probably my soul but that is small price to pay for OH LOOK SHINY

Does enjoying a glass of wine with dinner or a cold beer with pizza on the weekend make me an alcoholic? I would answer no. But does having 77 Steam games, many of which I have never played beyond a tutorial, and still buying more when they go on sale make me a Steamaholic? Again, I would answer no....am I in denial?

I guess that would depend on the size of that glass of wine- could the glass double as a goldfish bowl if needed?  :D
