Pffft... Who around here wants to use one program to allow them to run hundreds of games. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! :laugh2:

I also use it as a chat client between friends, as a voice client when we're playing a game that doesn't support in-game voice, and as a way for us to easily join a game server that someone else is playing in.

As long as your games are already installed, no worries. It will try and connect and when it can't, it asks if you want to run offline...
