WTF？why stop supporting Windows 7？

[😡 Duck 😡]

I have many valid reasons for not wanting to upgrade to Win10.

For example, I have too many applications and games installed, it seems to be over 300~500, and if I were to upgrade to WIN10, there are too many programs that would need to be downloaded and installed, registered and configured again, which is quite a hassle and could take days.

And with my hardware running fine on WIN7 and games, there is no need to upgrade.

I have tried installing WIN10 as a second boot system and trying to use it, but it doesn't seem to fit my hardware, there is a noticeable reduction in performance on the same configuration, and I just play games, I don't need to upgrade for the sake of so-called security.

Forcing an upgrade would be like STEAM interrupting my game service, which is actually a violation of player rights, Keep at least one version for Win7 players that will be available for a long time and will not be upgraded, even if there is only a basic function to launch the game.

when I choose to continue using an outdated system it naturally means I can be held responsible for my choices, such as if the system is hacked or running a ransomware virus.

I don't know why, but there are quite a few people in the comments asking us to upgrade our systems in the name of caring about the security of our systems. Seriously, we don't care if our systems are secure enough, We just want to come home after a busy day and run STEAM to play our favourite games and get a bit of relaxation, that's all.

Maybe I have another reason, not every player is in a developed country, for developing countries it costs more extra money to upgrade computers and hardware (I know some people will say that upgrading win10 is free, but what about hardware? In fact the hardware of win7 has a performance reduction on win10), so why can no one understand that?

I saw that someone submitted feedback to STEAM customer service about this, and the official response was for players to come to this forum and voice their position, so maybe that's a good sign.

We need more support, so make your voice heard, please.

Sorry, my English is not good, so I use a DeepL translation tool to communicate.

That is an idea. Can't they install the Chinese version? China number one.

You can't even download it, even if you could, it has no community features and only supports about 200 games.

Hello

If you can't download it so what's the file i've downloaded from the china store ?

That's the problem with assuming. You're assuming that I think you're telling the truth. I don't think you're telling the truth. So, yeah.

[AustrAlien2010]

You can believe him. People can download the file. If you cannot download it, maybe China is blocked for you.

Time to learn some Chinese. Shouldn't be that difficult.

But I think eventually China will also have to install the new Windows, so it doesn't really get them anywhere on the long run.

You can download it with some trickery, here's the file.

Now, installing it fully? And connecting? That would need a lot more trickery.

Be there as it may, all I see is someone who saw the words you can't do something and then jumped on it all the while making a fool of himself and is still doing so.

He had no idea that there was even a Chinese client a few hours ago and now all the sudden he's trying to school everyone on what you can and cannot do with it.

hello

hehe i would love to be a so called "expert" but i am expert of nothing.

I do not have this behaviours and do not pretend that for myself : all i do not like is people writing bs without sourcing and leaving other people wasting their precious time thinking they're saying the truth when it's not.

I said with some trickery. Now, bypass the Chinese ID and Login, and let Steam Fully update. You keep digging your own grave on this.

Hello

So the client does not fully install itself after like the normal steam client ?
Strange because the 2mo SteamChinaSetup.exe allready downloaded a bit more that 900Mo locally and ended to the logging screen waiting me to enter my crediential.
Do more will be downloaded after you enter your credentials ,may be or may be not but i i guess it's more some reactjs,css and so on that client part.

The funny thing is, you claim to not be doing it, yet you are doing it as we speak and what's more you continue to do it and still act like you're correct and you're not.

You sure it's fully installed? Final install should be 1.2GB with no games installed.

Hello

Thought you need an chinese id for that xd
No clue i do not want to dig deeper than i went, it was anought for the purpose of what i pointed first :
the client can be downloaded and installed.
Valve made this client compliant to local laws and surelly not to be a "spy tool" ....
And special dedicace for you and i hope you like transe xd

You're not paying attention. Valve did not add the spying ability to the client, China did. And if you really think that China isn't spying on its own people, then you aren't looking at history at all.

China isn't part of the EU so posting EU laws is literally pointless.

Exactly, you need a valid ID to login, my entire point. Part of the tracking...
