My biggest complaint about Steam is Valve’s retail sales. They sell a DVD with the installer for Steam and then you have to download from Steam even though you’re holding a physical DVD in your hands.
Me as a kid on Christmas morning 2004 unwrapping the Half Life 2 disc only to realize it’s a 6.5GB download over my 14.4k dial-up connection. My parents bought the physical disc for a reason, because we had a shitty Internet connection.
They definitely did not get everything else right.

I'm surprised you couldn't install the game itself from the disc. My physical copy of the orange box installed steam, but it also game with the game data on multiple discs.
