Comment on Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 8 months agoNothing unusual about cutting the cord at some point when major updates introduce big enough differences that it becomes a pain to make sure things start compatible.
I swear some people around here must be mad that Microsoft doesn’t release Windows 98 updates anymore…

Microsoft doesn’t stop you from playing the games that already ran on your Windows 98 computer either. False equivelance.

Then don’t buy your games on Steam if you don’t like the way they do business, you’ve got other options, vote with your wallet and only buy DRM free games.

I wasn’t expecting they would take away the games I legally purchased.
You’re really okay with Steam being able to take away all the games you purchased whenever it feels like doing this? A rich asshole like Elon Musk could buy Steam and shut it down just to fuck with people, saying he just wanted the employees or some piece of tech. You wouldn’t complain at all if that happened?
That’s why I buy them on GOG and not Steam.

So all your stupid posturing in this thread was just to bait people into an argument with you?

Look at the EULA, you’re not buying the game, you’re buying the right to play it and that right can be taken from you at any time, that’s been the main criticism against the switch to digital platforms from the moment Steam started existing and if you had taken 30 seconds to think about it you would have realized it.
That’s why I buy them on GOG and not Steam.Make up your fucking mind, do you or do you not buy games on Steam?
