im looking at this program

[REDSHADOW]

and I am smiling like a sucker i have no use of this for the time being and i am not criticising the developer for making it and puting it on steam. but really on "steam" i fine that funny dont get me wrong i know that they have good intentions and want to help and i appreciate there work for some of use is alwasy trying to find a spare amount of cash for the game that we want. honestly i pictured the software catagory would be for developers that make software that are for gamming and programming to make new games but i see and understand. it is honestly funny you know

[cokebottle]

Why is it funny?

[REDSHADOW]

because its starting to show that valve will do anything to have people on steam so they can make money even get people that dont play video games to do there budgeting on steam

[cokebottle]

Why is it funny that Valve want to sell other kinds of software than games on Steam?

yup i mean apart from the graphing programs and making a game programs they allow this in. next it will be house decerations or turbo tax.

House decorations programs, sure. Not sure why some people have this hangup that Steam should only be for games and related software. Steam is a digital distribution platform. There is nothing magical that separates games from other software.

but you see what i mean its a smart idea what valve is doing making sure that more an more people with different views coming in steam and staying on it steam makes the money of people being on steam

lol it's funny because it was greenlit by members of the community :D

also, this software does have the facility to help small businesses, there's a different layout. While businesses may need more than a budgeting sheet, it's a good place to start if you want some sort of software :)

So what's wrong with or funny about that? Without Steam I probably would've never known about this program and would've been still stuck with my Excel spreadsheet, which is not bad and does almost the same functionality but in a way less effecient way.

(It's just like saying - why do you need Photoshop if you can draw by hand? Still people buy Photoshop.)

So if you look at the program and smile like a sucker... euh... get some medicine I guess?
