What? How is steam a health risk? It's just as much of a health risk as any other app
It's been known to Valve since early November last year that the update at the end of October caused the client to become a problem. It's causing migraines and setting off epileptic seizures in people who have conditions which are otherwise unaffected by any other known software, as well as a similarly unique-seeming effect on some people with vertigo experiencing headaches and nausea as a result of the new client. There's a number of possible mechanisms which are inherently part of the new update which can cause each of these problems, but also a number of people who are being affected even when circumventing the specific obvious triggers which could be responsible, indicating there's something else going on beyond the surface-level issues with it.
Ah, I just looked it up and turns out people have been having issues with steam since the new interface update; Is this what you were talking about? Or is it something else? If it is what you are talking about, you can always go to view - small mode to bring it back to how it used to be, therefore people with epilepsy and similar health concerns can use it without such contrasting colors.
I honestly thought you were talking about some weird conspiracy, and i think others may have too. I hope this clears up the original comment more.
If the interface change isn't what you were talking about, please tell me what in specific you think is going on with steam; I'm curious, as I don't see anything else relating to possible steam health concerns.
Thanks
Yes, the issues since the new client update (end of October last year) are what I'm talking about. And no, small mode doesn't fix it for everyone - and I'm one of the unlucky ones that doesn't fix it for. SOMETHING about the behaviour of the client outside of just the visual UI changes is affecting people too. And even for those who it DOES fix it for, it doesn't, because there's several core required functions that aren't accessible in small mode, and it's easy to misclick when doing several other things and have it automatically turn itself back into a health risk.
