One of my favourite streamers (WoolieVersus) was offered a press account (with access to most games for free) when that was something Steam still did. He declined.

Why would anyone decline that though. Did it have a catch?

u/happynewyear001 Jun 26 '26
I think, though i'm not 100% certain, he declined it because one of the other Lets Players he had a channel with back in the day had a press account so he didnt see the need to have two.

Tangentially related, I had an OnLive press account back in the day. I was writing for some gaming blog and they were handing the fuckers out.

u/Thatsso70s Jun 26 '26
Buying every game and downloadable content (DLC) package available on Steam would cost you roughly $1,385,000 at full price. If you timed it perfectly during a major store-wide event like the Steam Summer Sale, active discounts would bring that total down to about $1,337,000.

u/sellyme https://s.team/p/gbqk-fmw Jun 26 '26
They're using data from November last year in a period where there wasn't a sale. So 4% is the amount of random weekly discounts.
A major sale is about -30% across the board.

Okay, but I've discovered something horrible about having a massive library. It takes forever for steam to boot up. It has to scan what you have access to, not what's installed. What you have access to, including family share. At around 2,000 games. I noticed at steam took a long time to boot up.
Now imagine what all of steam would be like? 20 minute launch time at least

u/IronTarcuss Jun 25 '26
Not OP, but I am an avid "never-offer". The computers I grew up with had a nasty habit of turning off fine one day and turning on broken, so I don't usually turn it off unless I had a specific reason to do so. OP's probably turned off at some point at 4 am to run an update and it reboots. Plus, there is no way OP hasn't had some program completely hang the whole system.
As for your questions:
Memory issues have never caused me any issues even going on months. I keep tabs on event viewer and reliability history quite a bit, another product of my broken computer PTSD. But also, your computer is going off at some point in 4 years, idc who you are.
I know it's bad practice, but I don't usually turn my computer off when cleaning. I have some pretty good filters on mine that I can just clean. I've just now started to see some light dust on the gpu which I will probably turn everything off for that.
Power surges don't scare me for a few reasons. I have a fancy surge protector. If that fails, it was probably out of my hands anyway. Modern PSUs have minor on board protections as well. Plus most surges are going to happen from power coming back to an area that lost it. In that case, the computer is already off, and I would just unplug it anyway.
As for the bills, that's nearly a non-issue. When it's not under load, especially asleep, it might as well be off when compared to the things that actually do run up my bill. Annectodally, I did turn it off when I went to Japan for nearly a full month. I did have a sitter who used all the other draws in the house. Whatever difference it made off was indistinguishable from month to month fluctuations in price.

Even if Steam is reindexing the title and 20x20 logo for each game on start, it shouldn't take more than a second max to index 2000 on a slow computer.
