Jesus Christ, Steam at 1.4 GB and you are expected to run that WHILE PLAYING GAMES? That made my eyes pop outta my head.

There's no way that's normal. I'm pretty sure mine only uses a couple hundred.

Maybe they left it running for a while. The current Steam Client is basically an Electron App.
I miss the old Steam Client that was made entirely in Valve's own GUI Framework which was written in C++.
