Fun hobby, doing stuff like that. Anywhooo, those who don't like the newer Win versions really need to check out multi-booting, so you can test drive alternatives. IMHO Windows is past its peak OFC that's going to be a varying subjective view for different individuals. Personally I run 8 different OSes across 3 different devices here at home; my most used OS has ended up being Linux Mint. I still need Win 7 for proprietary work reasons, and since it still works with Steam I've no reason to nuke it from there & lose my meticulous custom mods on a small # of games. No worries.

Otherwise, I use Windows the way I use some of our old farm beater vehicles. LOL

XP still works but not fully. Some important function like downloading and installing and playing seem to have problem, at least with valve's first party game. However looking at how long it takes for steam to fully break down in XP after the announcement to stop supporting I think 7 should have at least 2-3 more years assuming Chrome doesn't do something radically stupid which in turn forcing valve to also do something radically stupid.

That realistically depends on what Valve does as well. Valve isn't going to prevent 7 users from logging in, as long as said ability to login works.

"Not preventing" is quite different from "supporting."

Good luck in your class action lawsuit. Or even getting a lawyer who would be willing to act on your behalf.

Your games are tied to your Steam account, not your OS. So you can't lose them.

Derp. We use certain accounts per OS. The sun also rises in the morning.

An alt per OS? Man, W7 users, bless your little hearts.

Sorry for saying that but Steam doesnt decide if Win7 is supported or not, Microsoft deprecated this version [1] 4 years ago. Don`t waste your money on lawyers as Steam can simply bring the security concern of using an obsolete version of an operating system.

It`s a lost battle but you probably know better... vov

Ok? That still doesn't change the fact that you're not losing your games. The only concrete way that you could absolutely lose your games, is if your Steam account was deleted or terminated. Which is FAR more severe than losing access to it by using an unsupported OS.

Messaggio originale di EMO GANGSTER:

steam should still work for 7 for a time it just wont update.also suing Valve seems like a bad idea Class actions don't work so well with 5 people

Even with thousands of people it would still be a bad idea. Numbers have ♥♥♥♥ all to do with a legitimacy of a claim.

This is just a bad choice because ALL users agreed to these terms.

There's literally NO STANDING for such a case.

its still not ownership when you "own" those games on steam except DRM-Free.

Even DRM-free doesn't exclude you from copyright/licencing, it just brings back a little more of the illusion of ownership we had in the past.

It's almost silly how many people don't understand this.

They shouldnt, because most players buying games anyways

You dont know, you can transfer the same folder to a another computer and play that, works most of time.

I'm suing Valve because I want to play my Doom 1993 on my windows xp.

Jokes aside, the most realistic thing Valve could do for W7 users is to send developers a notice that their games will be delisted (keyword delist, not remove) from Steam if they are not updated for modern systems. Many issues are due to old school DRM. I'm sure we'll see similar issues with games that use Uplay and Origin in the future. Valve's perfect world is where Linux is the top gaming operating system, and you never have to go through unnecessary OS updates to play your purchased licenses.

Windows XP and 7 were my first operating systems, but as I got older and went to CS school, Linux became my home. Not everybody's cup of tea.
