Steam for Mac, why autostart you cheeky monkey?
It was with some excitement I installed the Steam client onto my iMac yesterday, mainly as you can download the excellent Portal for the next 2 weeks for free. In my PC days I’ve owned a number of Steam purchased games and Im looking forward to them becoming available on my iMac over the coming weeks. HalfLife 2 on my 27″ screen should look superb! However….. Valve and the Steam client really annoyed me with it’s installation process, it was like a throw back to my old PC days…. it authorised Steam to run at startup which I found very annoying especially as on my first restart it was stuck on verifying steam installation for ages!
So a quick dig around my system preferences and deleting it from my startups fixed the issue.
Oh, Portal is really cool! Well worth a free download!!
