Why is Steam so slow?
Steam can feel like it's dragging its digital feet for a few reasons. If your internet is doing the digital equivalent of walking through molasses, that's going to slow down Steam too. Also, don't forget that Steam's servers can be overwhelmed, especially during big sales or game launches. It's like everyone trying to squeeze through the same tiny door. Lastly, it might just be your PC having a hard time keeping up, kind of like trying to run a marathon after a Thanksgiving dinner.
