Logging on takes forever, once logged on, bing bing mandatory update to steam. Once steam is updated bing bing mandatory 100+ meggers patch to download before being able to even try to start the damn game that's supposed to be playable in the shipping state. ctrl-alt-del kill process throws 60$ in the trash Thx bbye. Steam updates are optional to restart the computer. They are also pretty small, since the client itself isn't that large If you set steam into offline and play only there, you can get at least a few weeks out of playing most of their games without patching it. You can also set games to never update, although steam seems to have issues with respecting that. If you are indeed on a 56k modem, there are some things you can do to help or mitigate the situation. For instance, libraries often have broadband access and/or wireless. Many free wireless hotspots are out there. Most of GoG titles once you download them they install and you are done. So if you were able to download them at a friends house, that would get the titles installed at least.
