Can STEAM understand that there are people with MULTIPLE computers for games that doesn't work on Microsoft newest operating system???!!!

[doru]

I see a bunch of losers that think if you don't have windows 1000 you are some poor bum that should not have access to steam.

Steam thinks this!! Right there with the rest of the 5 years old crowd, yeah right there you are steam. Same logic!

Some have more that one computer with different operating systems so the old games can still be played even if Bill Gates scramble his operating system every few ears.

Provide a STRIPPED DOWN STEAM version with the drm for those old games so they can keep working on older computers. I don't need all the bells and whistles from the newest version!

RasaNova mentioned Max Payne - Windows 2000/ Windows XP ONLY. Why it's offered when they don't support Windows 2000 or Windows XP anymore, who knows, this is Valve. Who needs logic.

Because there is already a patch for W10

Also, Max Payne is not for sale anymore for most countries, you can check the store here:

What game runs on 7 & doesn't on 10?

Some games run better or have less problems. I have run into a few older games like Yakuza 0, Grand Theft San Andreas, Kane and Lynch Dead Men...not the best coded games but they don't run as good because they were designed with primitive tech. I have 0 problems on 7 with them, but will be forced to pirate or buy from another platform or physical disc. I am sure people can name others, but we don't need to defend Valve's decision to not allow basic access.

Name a game from the XP era that "only works on XP" I'll install it and see if it runs. I'm on Win 11. I'll post a screenshot here, in this thread. Ball is in your court.

Max Payne. Even the store page lists "Windows 2000/XP only." (Meaning Steam sells it knowing it won't work for the people buying it on Steam, go figure.)

People have allegedly gotten it to run in win7/10 but only after a lot of work. But XP to 7 seems like it was more of a jump than 7 to 10.

Max Payne runs 'out of the box' with only some audio problems (A bug that existed since Windows Vista due to changes in DirectSound).
But there are plenty of options to fix it (unofficial patch or two type of wrappers)

Hello
No clue if this means that older steam version won't be able to connect to the store.I think gog launcher has allready been updated to remove win7 compatibility during an update but as soon as you tryed to update it , it revert back and you still can use it.

Problem with Steam is that you need to verify if you OWN the game.
If Steam cannot run then your Steam game will not work.
You will have bricked games.

Galaxy doesn't revert back currently, Win7 is still able to run it. Your PC still runs the Steam Client as well.

But, by the end of there year that may no longer be possible anymore because, just like the Steam client, it uses CEF.

GOG though allows downloads without their client.

Yeah I tried a lot of those "fixes" to get it working in win7, best I got was it ran but no audio like you said.
I'll try it again tonight, maybe it'll actually work in win10.

Cool if it works, I'd pretty much written it off as the price of moving forward, same as a few other games I have that don't handle win7/10.
