At least they got rid of that monstrosity called "Rockstar Social club" in one patch or another. And you can run GTA 4 without Steam on the background, unlike, say, New Vegas. It's just the moronic Live that keeps bugging you.

And don't even get me started on not finding Mass Effect 3 on Steam, because noooooooo, having just one stupid third party client on your computer is not enough: if you want our game, you must install our stupid third party client too.

Gotta love the games industries ways of keeping everyone on the straight and narrow. Good thing I've got several free e-mail addresses which lets me use details other than my own to set these flobbing accounts up.
