Isn't Valve (and many many other companies) good at that? After all, who wanted Steam? Valve. And only Valve. Everyone else said, no, don't do it. Granted it's a lot more mature now then it used to be, but half of the problem with Steam in the early days of Steam is that it was not very reliable. Actually, the first non-beta releases really sucked. And they *still* haven't fixed the clientregistry.blob issues, I can't tell you how many times I've had to physically delete that file to fix this or that problem.
