2. The Steam account is fine and still exists and it's still yours.
If you're reaching this far for comparisons, I'd hate to see your reaction to a Steam account that is actually locked or terminated and it certainly doesn't happen just because a user won't or doesn't upgrade their OS.
There isn't a single game from my entire history playing games on PC that I cannot play on my Windows 11 machine.
Do they all "just work"? No, of course not, but that's just a fact of PC gaming, and has been for 40 years. Unofficial patches, tweaks, ini changes, etc are sometimes necessary to get certain really old games working. This has been true since forever. We have it pretty easy today. Some of you youngsters never experienced the pain of trying to use a custom autoexec.bat file in a desperate effort to free up enough conventional memory to allow Ultima 7 to run. Today, I can just load up Ultima 7 in DOSBox with no issues, or better yet, run it in Exult.
People seem to be more neurotic these days. They're absolutely tightly wound with tension and anxiety. Even if their system is halfway decent and would handle Windows 10 or 11 easily, they're chomping their fingernails off worried about basically nothing. "What if this game doesn't work?" "What if that game doesn't work???" Y'all need a Xanax or something. You'll be fine. Honest.

Like if we went back to the old days before Steam, I bet a lot of people will whine, complain, and flood the forums demanding updates, and patches instead of having to manually look for any of these things, and apply them yourself, as I know in the past if someone doesn't know anything, and just new to PC they wouldn't know they had to go look up game website, or search for online forum, and try find links to where to get the updates, and patches, as not everthing was offer automatically as how it is today where drivers are automatically downloaded to you, but still have click allow/yes/approve the install of the drivers, and some how there always those few people that clicks no, and don't install the things they need, and such, and complains why something not working, or why there bugs, and so on.
And you be right PC isn't aim to be like console, the experience won't be the same due to number of hardware config, drivers version that are installed, or missing, bios/firmware update issues, and so on, and the fact is that this depends on end user more than anything if they know what they're doing, or not, and these days companines are trying to dumb everything down best they can without taking away from power users because wouldn't make sense to do that, even on OS such as newer, and newer windows they may dumb things down, or pre config things for end user to make it simple as they can. but still requires end user to do rest of the work, evne on linux there can only be so much one can hold someone hand as end user has to learn to do things on their own, and figure how things work to make the experience better overall.
Example there few people I help this year that made full switch from console to PC, helping get old games to run, and so on with new hardware, and new windows such as 10/11, and not easy explaining things as they're new to PC, but they're not childern as they're in their 30s, and 40s, and that like expecting someone to just understand a car mechanic when they explain the problem with a car without ever driving, or study about cars ever so basically learning curve for them really, but give couple weeks, or months and they be way better at it, and understand some of the things as gave them time to learn, and improve to solving their own problems, and sure may still need to show some of the ropes to learn about more advance things, but totally worth it because you can do way more things on PC than on console from mods, fixes, and so on.
can =/= required
Some of you post as if you have never had to upgrade an OS before.
Like I said, go look at what happens when
a Steam account is locked or terminated and then come talk to me about it somehow being "destroyed" because a particular OS is no longer supported.
Not wanting to upgrade doesn't equal cannot upgrade either.
If you're going to make that claim, you should substantiate it.
Chromium uses its own networking stack and its own crypto implementation. Chromium 109, the last Chromium to support Windows 7, has full support for HTTP/2 (HTTP/3 even) and a current-day cipher suite.
The network and crypto libraries will probably remain patchable for years as well. There's nothing in either of them that wouldn't compile for Windows 7. They're also usable as standalone components - i.e. could be used for the native parts of the Steam client, that will then have continued access to up-to-date network and crypto capabilities.
For years to come, there is nothing Valve could do on Steam's servers that would be fundamentally incompatible with Chromium 109 and that wouldn't have an automatically managed fallback included in their server software. Auto-negotiation on compatible protocol versions and supported optional features is an inherent part of the HTTP protocols.
The reason Valve isn't doing it is much more simple:
It's effort they don't want to spend for customers that will stop paying them money for new titles and that effectively will live outside the platform, detached from it and any marketing efforts for selling titles through it by publishers publishing on it.
Cherry on top:
The actual reason Google dropped support for Windows 7 and 8(.1) is one very specific one as well. Starting with Windows 10 the OS has several new memory and process related APIs that make it easier and less brittle to maintain a process isolation sandbox; and they want in on that. But it's a big shift in how Chromium's sandbox tech works, and given the low usage numbers of Windows 7 they simply don't want to maintain both versions side by side either.
It's all a matter of 'is it worth the effort' ?
A car that still runs even but lack a steering wheel and tires and has a bent axle is basically useless. It cannot preform its main function of transporting you from spot to spot.
It's the exact same concept as your system no longer being able to preform the function of playing games. Even if it can do other things, its proverbial axle is bent. It's primary function is no longer able to be performed.
Still agree with most but there is still a question about the shell , and by shell i am talking about steam.exe.
This part is still somehow a mystery but there is clearly some use of ssl inside as import and it use network.
So it's the weak point of the equate imo.
Yes. But it depends in how far the SSA holds water. It was never actually tested in court, afaik, whether such terms will hold. Esp. with consideration to the EU, this may run afoul of the Unfair Contract Terms Directive (UCTD) as this is in essence a term with which the consumer is unavailable to familiarize themselves beforehand - given that Valve at their sole discretion dictates what they update; when they update; how they update; and what the new system requirements will be. Nothing about the actual procedure is documented.
In fact - they actively stopped publishing the minimum requirements for the Steam Client altogether. There used to be an article that listed something about them in the knowledge-base, but they actively delisted it.
(You really wouldn't be the one to start a court case over it; to try and prove it though. Baaaa---d idea.)
The point is that Valve has every opportunity available to them to use a cross-platform up-to-date networking and crypto stack also for the native parts of the Steam client.
The fact that they currently don't do so, or may not be doing so, is secondary to the fact that they could do so. Easily even. And as such the lagging behind of the OS's own stacks in Windows 7 is not the limiting technical factor in revving the server back-end forward that it was being made out to be.
They could if they really wanted supporting the first OS they had made the client to support windows 98, but they're not obligated to do so. They drop support many times from Windows, Mac, and Linux across different versions over the years.
As far things go, we're in a ride that doesn't matter to EU, or anyone really unless they wanted extra time on their OS hence pushing Microsoft for more time support with windows XP, and that didn't stop MS from dropping them in the end.
