trashman69 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Whilst trying to load my game via Steam on my MAC running OS X Maverick I was prompted to turn on Universal Access. I went to my settings and noted that turning on Universal Access gives Steam full control over my computer. Its the only app, game thats demands this and I am hesitant to allow a company access to my computer and all the data within. Could some explain knowingly why this is needed and if there is a work around. I thought I would go along whilst making some in game purchases and then switch it off. However I was unable to use PayPal as my password field refused input via keyboard. Could this be Steam's odious creeping tentacles or Maverick security overriding Steam.

forameuss Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Steam's odious creeping tentacles It's hardly the child-catcher from chitty chitty bang bang. It won't do anything you don't ask it to, no matter how much it's allowed to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfgarnett Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 No one is allowed to slag off Steam on here, despite what it does to people's computers.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
