Without any flashy marketing campaigns or social media fanfare, Valve rolled out a routine Steam Client update containing a very simple line in the patch notes: “Improved Steam Client startup performance.”

The Steam update has been available in the beta client for over a month. This wasn't a response, they had already done it.

shrug I still love Steam, and I still love that anyone is trying to keep 'em honest.

I generally run mainline client, so I'm glad they decided to release the update to us non-Beta users.
