Lost? Not really any. I’ve replaced everything I can on GOG, and replaced what I can’t with pirate copies.

The 2GB RAM usage of a client that does no more than spam me with irrelevant recommendation isn’t worth it now that I can’t just slap another 16 in there for the heck of it.

I moved the “common” folder installations out, tried launching them all directly, anything that did not force Steam to open or scream that it wasn;t running I kept official and made a backup. Anything that did I dumped and yarred the games I already owned.

My Steam library is something like 1500 games, spent a lot replacing console stuff when I moved to PC, but now I consider it to have been a mistake. I just don’t trust Valve anymore, simply being better than Ubislop and BiowEAr isn’t enough, with ho the state of gaming is shifting to be completely anti-consumer. We’re not the customer there, we’re the product, proven by how a publisher can add DRM after launch, or break a game and force out an update, and Valve will demand that we accept this no matter how bad it is.

RAR files just make me “Huh?” as they are nowhere near as good as 7zip, as universal as zip, or as nice as tarballs.

The memory of multi-part rar files being a good way to get big things voer dial-up is kinda long past, they’re a relic, in my book.
