Pressing cancel doesn't kill the download right away, forcing me to shut off the hotspot, or killing the application and starting anew. Also, Steam tends to be less than co-operative when kept in offline mode for months at a time, and installing games from a flash drive is extremely hit or miss as verification often fails, and Steam decides to munch on my data limit trying to download a copy fresh. Mobile phone for internet on a 6GB/month plan (with unlimited streaming Youtube, Netflix, etc at lower resolutions, even tethered), so downloading modern games is a rather ambitious endeavor.Ī substantial portion of my Steam games that I've already installed, all of which can be played single-player mind you, absolutely refuse to launch because updates are 'required', all of which are multiple GB. So, what I've done is just put all my games on a 4TB drive, then add all those games to my Steam library manually. Went to download the game, and it only way I can redeem it is through the stupid launcher. When I bought my GPU, it came with a game download.

All these different launchers are absurd.
