Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication (a bit ironic when you consider this quote comes from Apple).

Steam is fun and all, minecraft is a great game, but goddamn, i have a 10kbps at home, and network is unstable where i live, why can’t i play my fcking game “licence” which is not even online based, because the network decided to stop??

I prefer from far a simple folder with assets and a .exe that i will put on my desktop with a shortcut.

What an application is supposed to be anyways.
