While this may look like a good reason not to use the service, I learned of an even better reason just now from this article:
Apparently you have to wait in line?!
You also have to re-log in to Steam every fucking time.
This is the craziest part. They really make you feel uncomfortable and not really part of the system. You are just a subscription and nothing more, you get nothing, you own nothing, and you might as well give up and keep paying for a service you might be able to use
I was on the founder plan for a while because 50/year to keep an eye on the state of the tech wasn't a huge deal, and there was plenty of stuff my MacBook wasn't really powerful enough for but could tolerate the lag.
But the whole log-in process was way too much of a barrier for me to actually use it routinely.
