Their startup time was absurd and it’s good to see it fixed. Hoping that their absurd 30% cut is next.

The update also prevents the Steam window from stealing focus if users switch to another application during startup.

Fucking finally

This is nice, but maybe we shouldn't pretend that the Steam Client is any good. It's basically just bog-standard web-tech, stealing your RAM all the same as any old Electron-application.

The time for Valve to rewrite it in Rust came yesterday.
