3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

[Poll] Do you keep Steam running in the background all the time? (strawpoll.com)

On machines where you start Steam manually in order to play a game, do you keep Steam running in the background after play session is over? Meaning if you no longer play any game for the moment, and just keep it running to be ready. Or do you close Steam, after the play session?

I use my PC pretty exclusively for gaming so I actually prefer it to autorun. I don't notice any difference in performance with it off honestly.
