On machines where you start Steam manually in order to play a game, do you keep Steam running in the background after play session is over? Meaning if you no longer play any game for the moment, and just keep it running to be ready. Or do you close Steam, after the play session?

    If I’m not actively using it, why would I want it slowing down what I am actually doing?

    So my friends can see that I’m online and invite me. Also updating my games in the background.

    And my PC is powerful enough that I don’t notice any kind of slowdown from Steam running in the background anyways.
