So what are the advantages of SteamCMD for linux? Does InterWave's site have the necessary changes listed somewhere, or Valve, so that I can WASTE TIME and re-setup my server? I ask because I've already checked and there is zero documentation on the changes.
I'm glad the environment I have here locally doesn't require change management or dedicated maintenance windows because Valve seems to be jacking everyone these days. I feel bad for the GSP's with the additional overhead they are having to incur with all the pushes as of late. As a side note, SteamCMD leaves a lot to be desired for a command line perspective. Registering a server is one thing but if you do it from your main account, every time the server updates you will be knocked off of steam. It's either that or create multiple accounts and multiple scriptlets to manage your servers. This is NOT efficient. With the amount of money that I've spent with Valve personally, it's tempting to tell them to take a flying leap and close my account. Their reliability for item servers, cloud and now servers has diminished over the last year to an unreliable level. Daily patching which breaks servers consistently is not acceptable. unpublished changes are not acceptable. Thats as bad as not doing input validation when writing a program or website! It's also as bad as lazy programming where the mentality of not writing streamlined, efficient, modular code used to be prevalent. > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
