So I’m sitting here again watching the “synchronizing cloud” thing spinning infinitely and I think I’m done with steam forever. I just want to play a game without all this hassle

Edit

Well this is already worse than reddit…

    Not sure how I offended you with my question…

    Disabling cloud sync would eliminate the last reason for using steam in the first place…

      You didn’t offend me, but you also didn’t really clarify what you actually want/need which made me think you just wanted to complain 🤷‍♂️ steam works and it’s way better than all of the alternatives. While you might find solutions for just managing games, nothing offers the level of “just works” as steam input and proton in Steam.

      No alternative to Steam has cloud sync afaik though, it seems that disabling steam sync is easier than changing your entire game library if you’re having internet problems.

        No because as I said that would be the last reason to keep using steam ,no cloud sync then I’ll just switch to an offline solution which steam isn’t.
