Plus, the most important factor: can you use portals in Passage to propel yourself, and a cube with a heart on its many faces, to incredible speeds through the air? No. You just play for five minutes and then <i>die of old age.</i> If we were comparing the two as games rather than as art, Passage wouldn't stand a chance.

That fixed it right up, but it might be game-specific rather than Steam-specific so I dunno if that's any use. The thingy I found said that installing older software can turn that service off and make Steam( or perhaps just that game...) cranky. Kieron:

Portal was an excellent, outstanding game, but in the end of the day, it was far more a commercial product than it was an outstanding work of art. Passage was a game laden with deep meaning. It was not created to be marketable, profitable, or fun. It was meant to convey a message. I feel like an attempt to compare the two and label one as somehow superior is bizarre and misguided.
