Stares at palm.... must resist urge to bring to face rapidly....
How can they do this without thinking this through?
And I don't even have that many people to worry about. But what about people with large followings??? If I woke up and my first 10 minutes of steam was watching a series of windows pop up I'd spit my breakfast on my keyboard in frustration?
And Morthy, we should have the choice. You aren't helping. Infact now I'll add: how about the option to select certain people to block purely when offline? Maybe there are some people I do want to know if they message me offline and some I don't. Maybe I know people who I can tell to shut up when I'm online. What about trolls who wait until I'm offline and spam me with messages? Just having it always on isn't sensible nor desirable for some people. Are ou telling me they shouldn't have ANYONE on their friends list? I don't want my steam bloated with unwanted stuff.
Go and think it through.
Well, this might sound stupid to you, but there are legit reasons to want to start Steam in offline mode, without that annoying popup.
I installed Pinball FX2 on a cabinet and I'm able to start it through the PinballX[www.pinballx.net] frontend. But when it starts, it shows this freaking popup, everytime! Since it's a cabinet, I have to fetch a keyboard/mouse, to click on 'start offline'. And even if I managed to do this with the buttons on the pinball cabinet, I just want it to start without this popup, asking me everytime if I really want to start it in offline mode. Every-f*cking-time! I just want it to start Pinball FX2 smooth, without any hassle. Since the cabinet is not connected to internet, I HAVE to start Steam in offline mode. And hooking up a pinball cabinet to the internet, only to get rid of this popup, is just INSANE!
Gabe, are you reading this too? Fix this insanity!
I have same problem. I buy game to play with a pc in an arcade cabinet without internet connexion. But this popup is very annoying.
