Steam Lite - originally "Give me the ability to remove Steam's bloatware"

[Pooka Mustard™]

I hate Gabe Newell, and that's due to the recent bloatware he's been adding to Steam. I do not want Big Picture, Broadcasting, Music, In-Home Streaming, Blah Blah Blah. I just want the library, the store, and the community. It doesn't get to be hard.

Now, someone give me an idea of how to remove ALL that isn't the library, community or store. They are hampering the development of the damn client which is, damn, it loves to crash and be unstable as hell. And I'm very sure this issue comes from Steam. So, no ideas how to remove anything of these?


EDIT: Or here is a better option you can manage to find out. Just figure out a way to run Steam games without Steam. And no, OFFLINE MODE is not a solution to my problem.

They shouldn't be causing you issues unless you're actually using them. So don't put so much hate on Steam due to something you're not running. Maybe your laptop/computer isn't up to date? They usually are, people aren't dumb. But computers? Nah, it's computer logic. Something MIGHT be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up with your computer, but who knows? Steam's never crashed on me, or became unstable as you say. I've used Windows 7 Pro. Are you sure it's not your laptop/computer?

I'm 100% sure the issues stems from Steam, and so far, I don't want any of these bloatware features regardless of whether they sit in the background or not. Cause Steam is being updated at the moment for these features and not the core client which needs more stability fixing already. And that on nearly all OSes and computers, fresh and old, including Windows XP, 7 and currently 8.1. And my computer surpasses the Steam's requirements. But regardless of whether Steam is bugged or not, I don't want these features and I don't need them, so I'd love a full removal of them, and I'd like to know how.

I at least tried to sound decent.

me too.. in a sarcastic way :3

There's no way in hell would anybody have noticed that was sarcasm. It takes a little more effort to do so. Possibly use this, as it being slanted and all sounds sarcastic in it's self.

You'll need to go to add remove programs, programs or features, or if you're on Linux your favorite package manager. Search for Steam, and uninstall.

No more bloatware. Enjoy. :D

I just want Steam, the pure part of it, the not bloatware part of it. Can't get rid of my access to 150 games.

They will only be active when you actually use them. So them just being there won't make a difference.

They still waste space, and worst of all, I'm reminded every time I open the settings or the menu bars that they exist. If I could, I'd just ask for a miniature version of the Steam client that only includes the store, library and community. And nope, not the small mode view, but another version of the client to reduce the crashes and freezes... and maybe the login issues too.

If your client is crashing because of features you're not even using it might be something specific to your system. Otherwise more people would be in here complaining.

Steam is buggy. Not the systems I had tried Steam on. End of story. Remind me why Origin isn't crashing on me, or the games run by both clients.

Not crashing for me. End of story.

It is crashing for me and a thousnad other computers that I tried it on. Hence why I want a mini un-bloatware'd Steam client. Isn't it ironic that people are complaining of "Samsung bloatware" yet they don't depise Steam bloatware?

Of course it must not be crashing cause you aren't even playing with it like half the time. End of story.
