1)

i installed the software (which I still don't know of what use it should be considering xfire, steam and the 1000000 other matchmaking tools out there and the fact that publishers usually all bake their own bread (GfWL, gamespy, ingame solution).....

at the point where it should scan for games it just came up with .... nothing. and now when I start the game it says:

0 games -> please install, configure and enable a game.....

but WHERE ?????? there is no "add game/configure/browse" button, no function in the options....if I click the "install and enable" line it just opens a drop-down menue with the same text giving nothing to select from

(I do have ALL NET-versions installed 1/2/3/3.5) - see screenshot

2)

i would like to have an option "DO NOT SHOW in SYSTEM TRAY" (i don't like my tray being cluttered with every possible application)

3)

if I close the program it still runs in the tray - I find that confusing. why do I have to close the program via the system tray ?

4)

since you can't import friends from other platforms (oc you can't, can't imagine steam giving away their users) it's only valid for stardock users and therefore another "remote island" solution nobody needs. gamers need platformspecific solutions, not 100 different cooks (GfWL should be it but microsoft can't be bothered to publish an open system for publishers to adapt to their needs) and you need impulse installed, so 2 applications that one works ?

5)

still a nice idea, hope the detection/adding of games gets either added (which makes it pre-alpha, not beta or pre-release) or there is a better explanation on how to do it

6)

installing the game automatically puts it into the "startup with windows" registry - do NOT alter my system and startroutines without telling me AND asking me beforehand, please. this is what makes it crapware, not software that benefits the users. I know, I know, this is for n00bs that can't bother to read options or take care of that themselves but it is still (imo) a bad way to introduce your software to new users (by forcing it on them without them knowing)
