>As a veteran PC gamer this software I view it as a virus

>I discovered it actually behaves like one

>this is worse than Denuvo

last week I decided to uninstall Steam since I got tired of my family shared games. (i never purchased anything on steam)

Upon uninstall it deleted half my desktop icons and rendered 4 non-steam games unplayable

I found out that its a well known "feature" to make sure it does a "complete uninstall"

>a veteran PC gamer
I laughed.

That's what you get for not purchasing a Nintendo Switch, this console would never tamper with your PC data and has exclusive, better games, and the definitive version of some great titles like Mario Kart 8 and soon TES V: Skyrim
>>

You installed it to a ill thought out custom directory that was sharing data with other applications, didn't you?
>>
>>378514060

This. Had it happen to me many times. Gotta watch where your installations are, and never put it where an uninstall will wreck everything. Shoot, just moving a folder's install directory will screw with every shortcut I have on my desktop. I installed starcraft 3 times because of that little blunder.

some people might think its a vindictive action by steam developers

BUT ITS OK WHEN STEAM DOES IT

I also lost a document containing all my fucking passwords

>not even viruses are this vindictive
>>
>>378514537
You had a document containting "all your passwords"?
Wow, just wow.

Nothing here makes you look good, only worse.

I hate tools like you in real life. Steam is a multi-million dollar company with thousands of employees and they cant make a properly uninstall for their software

UNLESS its done on purpose of course ;^)
>>
>>378515031
If you install a software in %directory% uninstaller should delete the whole %directory% , that is good expected behaviour
If you install steam in D:\Games instead of D:\Games\Steam or whatever your custom path is, you are literally retarded.
>>
>>378515417
>you are literally retarded

no you are

I have scientific evidence you are retarded

you have a $1000 euros of games on steam

you paid $1000 euros for torrents. try to sell your steam account to get to know the real life value of your ones and zeros

Anon I don't even have steam

>he doesn't back up his files
How's it feel being cucked?

Steam is cancer, I uninstalled it years ago and only pirate, buy from GOG when I play on PC.
>>
>>378513612
You're not a "veteran PC gamer" if you are a filthy creature who pirate games. You deserve to be murdered.

>If you install a software in %directory% uninstaller should delete the whole %directory% , that is good expected behaviour

That's very debatable. Personally, as a developer, I would never remove a file from a user's computer that I didn't put there. If such a situation came up I would notify them that the relevant directories were not removed as they were not empty and then let the user decide what to do. That, I think, is the good expected behavior as it's how almost all prepackaged installers operate. That being said, I'd never assume that's what all uninstall processes are going to do.

muh niggah

I just really hope that someone steps up in the digital distribution market to stop steam's de facto monopoly so we can have some real improvements
