I don't get the way Steam works on LAN. You exit Steam and so it disappears from the taskbar but it's still running as a daemon in the background ? What's the point of quitting Steam then ??? it's just as if our puters were running a little Steam auth service available to localhost ?

And what if I don't trust Steam and don't want this crappy service to run AT ALL ? well, I can't play my games then. Stupid thing.
