My Steam client is forcing me to change my OS

[Frit_/x/]

What can i do? I don't like this. The OS is my choice and not something a random video game company can force on me by withholding my games i paid for.

Any Help or Tips? A legacy Steam Client maybe?

Upgrade to a supported OS and stop using antique software.

Should have thought about that before closing a contract with Valve giving your consent to lose the access to your library once you don't meet the minimum system requirements anymore.

There will be no legacy client and it is your job to make sure your pc meets the requirements to run steam and continues to meet the requirement as they may change over time.

This is all all covered in the SSA which you agreed to when you created your account.

Keep in mind Valve is not the only company dropping support. Others have already or will be soon.

For reasons that include, without limitation, system security, stability, and multiplayer interoperability, Valve may need to automatically update, pre-load, create new versions of or otherwise enhance the Content and Services and accordingly, the system requirements to use the Content and Services may change over time.

You consent to such automatic updating. You understand that this Agreement (including applicable Subscription Terms) does not entitle you to future updates (unless to the extent required by applicable law), new versions or other enhancements of the Content and Services associated with a particular Subscription, although Valve may choose to provide such updates, etc. in its sole discretion.

You agreed to such changes when you made the account and with every purchase.

There is no legacy client. Best you can do if you want to stay on Windows 7/8 is run Steam in off-line mode with out internet connection, so it will not update.

Other then that, upgrade to Windows 10+ or switch to a version of Linux.

Its beautiful how at this point most people are so fed up with these threads that every new complain thread gets smacked down hard with facts right away in the first 5 minutes.
Loving it.
