I think Steam is a horrible annoyance, and the only reason I downloaded it is to get terraria. But what makes this a horrible annoyance is that when steam is not functioning, I cant even play games I bought through steam (Magicka, terraria) DESPITE wanting to play single-player games. Hell, Terraria in multiplayer isnt even dependant on steam (since steam does not have a multiplayer function for terraria), yet it still influences the game.

I really hope that when terraria is given its final update, it will no longer require steam to be installed in order to play it, because I -hate- it.
