my steam now crashes if a friend on my friends list sends me a message, wow but hey they gave us crappy skins for it! kudos on the marvelous update, I'd much rather have this then a new map or something like that. /sarcasm

Consider yourself lucky... i'm one of the people who are getting the bug where my steam runs the process steam.exe but i can't access any of the steam games, or even the GUI for that matter. and also the skins are designed by users not valve itself.
