        I can see it easily being accidentally left open if you have a busy desktop and don’t regularly restart your PC

        In my case, i use multiple workspaces. Had a workspace for gaming set up and left the window on the store page. Had a busy week so I didn’t game. I usually don’t turn off my computer because I contribute to Folding@Home at night. Week flies by and I start to wonder why my ram is full and investigate :D

        I mean… I often open steam for something and then kind of forget about it.

        What kind of sane person is gonna debug and track down a memory leak, though? Just buy more ram

      memory leak’s at a rate that doesn’t matter (~30mb/hour). That makes it hard to track down & reproduce. Also, solution would be to just navigate to your steam library or just not leave the window open like that :p
