nah, let's not.

It's a useful application, sure, but it's more an office thing than a gaming thing.
Besides, there's also 7zip, and that's free.

Winrar got beat out by 7-zip a while back I think.

lolno

WinRAR lost most of its relevance years ago. 7zip has surpassed it everywhere except ease of character set transcoding, and even that's easily accomplished via command prompt/terminal.

How about, No.

If you really think it's that important, go ask the developer about it.

7zip on win11 called NanaZip has won that race imo.

Well, been using it since 1998? I figured, nearly 30 years of use, the price is worth it really. Why not support a company that I use daily still?

Besides, I enjoy how it decompresses faster than 7zip. No idea why, but when it comes to compression they are about equal, but WinRAR always is faster for extraction.

7zip compression is slightly better than zip format at cost of speed.

Why would you need it on Steam?

P.S. 7-zip is what I use.

No thanks, not interested in buying WinRAR with an absurd price tag. That will never happen.
