Steam has over 120 million users (based on data: https://backlinko.com/steam-users)
according to : https://www.bloggersideas.com/how-many-windows-users-are-there-in-the-world/
in 2023 >
Windows 10/11 - 1.4 billion active devices
Windows 7/8 - 200 million active devices
Thats: 0,2/1,6 * 100% = 12,5% of devices
120 milion steam users * 12,5% = 15 milion of all Steam users
according to: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/windows/desktop/worldwide
in 2023 >
Windows 10/11 - 94,46% of all devices
Windows 7/8 - 5,42% of all devices
120 milion steam users * 5,42% = 6,504 milion of all steam users
So the hypothetical Win 7 user base on steam is somewhere between 6,5-15 milion
Exacly, thats not only a lot of potencial buyers but also customers who already payd for the service. Stoping support for a OS and blocking access for a OS, are two different things, so would be great if they can fix it.
customers failing to maintain their systems with a supported OS
are going to run into problems if they want to continue using steam...
the services will continue to be available when customers meet
the minimum requirements in 2024....
and you have 239 days notice to maintain your system with a supported OS
239 days... will you be playing games..
Am using steam on two machines (one W10, another W7) and I prefer W7, more admin control, I can fix problems which w10 users cannot because hardware&other microsoft prviliages locked out to users (you'll find this stuff on MS's own support page).
People are forced to use windows10 cus most hardwares sold today comes locked with it.
So am probably, like many others, are counted as "w10" but we're still on W7. So the percentage wise is a lie, the numbers are bigger.
On Steam the amount of Win7/8 users are around 1.5%. You raising it to 5.4% is more than doubling it.
As i see it; as a consumer/s rights, my computer
shall work unlimited with the os i bought it with
That microsoft abandoned e.g. 7 is illegal in my
book, so that i'm going down jan 1 [24] is fraud
Your computer will still work. Steam will just not be able to run on it due to new security features it wants to update with.
Then steam is fraud too.
It's how fraud works in "MY BOOK"
Security my ass. It's just sale tricks
