Like I'll still be playing my games, so sorry for not sticking with you win7 bro, but upgrades man. Upgrades.
Linux is also an option, and should not be discredited or disrespected or overlooked.
The steamdeck uses Linux and Proton (steam compatibility layer for Windows games on Linux) offers better compatibility for older (basically retro now) games than Windows 10. Delta Force 2, not even the demo will launch on Windows 10, but I bought the game and it wocks great in steam on Linux. There is also 1nsane, a game from 2000, that caused my windows 10 system to blue screen, works fine in steam on Linux using proton.
So, if you've never used Linux, download Virtualbox and pop_os! It receives graphics processing software updates months sooner than Ubuntu, so you'll get better performance. Also many times, games on Linux are faster than Windows, see the website (Phoronix) for benchmarks.
Actually it is.
Let me demonstrate it.
You buy a game on Steam. Due to the way DRM works here, you can donwload it and remove it to your heart's content, but if the service packs up you can NO LONGER download it. And if the DRM service also packs up you can't access your download either.
You buy a game on GOG. You download it, and thanks to it being DRM free, you burn it onto a disc. The srvice goes down. Doesn't matter as you have a LEGAL back up or maybe more than one.
You DO OWN legal physical copies to do with as you wish. You just cannot breach copyright law by redistributing them as your own, by say, making a change to the code and slapping your name on it.
It's why physical copies of games are still sold used.
Rangers,
I'm truly sorry that you felt my original reply to this post was "combative" and "abusive" enough to warrant moderator intervention. In my humble opinion I was simply giving honest, factual genuine rebuttals to the things you've said here.
I don't want to repeat myself or rehash but I would like to quickly respond to some things you've said here, in a peaceful, warm, not-violating-any-rules-or-guidelines kind of way.
I don't have a complex and wasn't worrying about you or Mr Newell. I wasn't trying to solve any capers. If you recall, it was actually yourself that spoke about solving cases and such, not me.
If you want to ignore me and the honest, genuine things that I say that's fine and absolutely your right. I'm still unsure as far as what crutches you're referring to or think that I have.
I have no doubt you will, but surely there are better ways to go about getting the result that you want, no?
They're not going to have to do a legacy format or legacy launcher or whatever. Valve/Steam is not under any obligation to do so. It is what it is, time marches on and no one ever promised that older operating systems like Windows 7 would be supported indefinitely or forever by companies that didn't even make it.
Well the matter long over, we on Win 7 have our games, i have the machine offline and unplugged from the internet, and given the games many years old, with no need for updates, i should be good to go for awhile.
I'm sorry you were moderated, but idk why people would put decent accounts with i would think good histories, in jeopardy, over me and others on this matter.
What's done is done. Good Luck.
Fair enough I guess. I still believe the Steam Deck would be a great option for you and others holding out on Windows 7, I know you've said previously that you don't think it will play older games from the early 2000's and whatever but I think whatever you're basing that assumption off of is erroneous, many older games play very well, beautifully even on Steam Deck even if the store page says its unsupported.
There's also the fact that you don't have to use it strictly as a handheld if you don't want to, you can run it with a dock through your television like a console or connect it to a monitor and mouse & keyboard.
Or you could easily install Linux Mint on your laptop, as I mentioned to you before it's not memory heavy and very user friendly. You might have to tinker a little to get some games to play but for the most part you should be all good.
Remember, your boy Mr Newell loves Linux. He's been saying very publicly for many years now that he considers it to be the future of gaming so taking a little time to get comfortable with Linux on Steam Deck or on your PC can't hurt.
But How do you know your games won't work on it? As I've said, many older games from the early 2000's play beautifully on Deck, even if their store pages say that they're "unsupported."
If you feel like, give me a small list of your games and I'll be able to tell you if they work on Steam Deck. Something tells me that you're erroneously assuming they won't work based on no evidence. There are a lot of people that play older games from the 80's and 90's on their Steam Decks, if they can then you can too.
Also keep this in mind:
I'm only going by what it says in the store. "Non Compatible". Anyhow, there's no need for it anyway now. To the extent this PC dies, i'll buy one of those micro PCs for 200 bucks that will play those games no problem, ir just rebuy them at GoG.. Thanks again.
You're wasting your time trying to reason with him, because he could literally spend $300 and play every game in his library without issue and get a new OS in the process.
If you say so man, there are people playing original Call of Duty and Doom and Wolfenstein and Defender and Galaga, etc on their Decks no problem and those last 3 examples came out in the early 80's so truly I can't imagine what games you're playing and claiming won't work on Deck or are "non compatible" with the Deck, I've never even seen that little store page box say "non compatible," I'm pretty sure it only says "verified" or "playable" or "unsupported" or "unknown" but alright.
Realistically it doesn't even matter what the store page says since you'd be using an emulator on the Deck to play these sort of significantly older games.
At the end of the day of course do whatever you want and what you think is best but I really think you're dismissing the Steam Deck without knowing the facts and that you most likely actually can play all or most of your older games.
Well if he's willing to spend a few dollars on a mini PC he'd honestly be far better off taking that few dollars and getting a Steam Deck with it, maybe the 64 GB model with a 1TB micro SD card so he can put his whole library on it if he wants, and then if he doesn't want to play it as a handheld he can either get a dock and run it through his TV or a monitor + mouse & keyboard.
That seems like the perfect solution to me if he (or other Windows 7 hold outs) really doesn't want to transition away from Windows 7 on his laptop or dual boot his laptop with Linux Mint, which could also play his older games with a emulator.
