Legacy Launcher for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1

[Chesmu]

I request Valve to make a little legacy launcher, maybe completely different from Steam platform, but owned by Valve, so we can bring our purchased game's licences there, install the games we already own and continue playing them.

This is to assure user's access to their games no matter on what hardware they own or regardless of their financial status which shouldn't be dictated by the platform/store.

It's going to be like this for 6.5 more months, isn't it?

There's seven and a half months until 1 January, actually.

But while the topic will change, the demands that Valve cede control of Steam to the ex-customer forum populists will continue.

So, now is XP and Vista too. What's going to be the next demand? 3.11?. DOS 1.0?

This is becoming just a farce.

It's called a legacy launcher so XP and above are modern enough for it and not pure kernels.

A lot of users are at XP still and playing their games offline, while at it, this will solve that too.

There's no reason why there can't be a soft-disconnected Steam that keeps all Library functionality and ignores literally everything else not essential to just running a game.

would you want to manage software for different oses that no one uses anymore? for little to no profit? too much work for too little target audience

Asking for that is literally asking for the sun, the moon, and the stars in the sky after being given $20.

This is getting beyond silly.
I feel as though the people who get this wild and wacky should be detained by the CIA.
For a few centuries.

So true, I can't believe some dream of such technical genius and innovation at this date, we are planning for Mars civilization, AI and quantom computers at the moment, legacy launchers are way into the future.

[davidb11]

I mean, a legacy launcher would be a thousand times easier than a mission to mars, and functioning AI that can think for itself, which it still can't do, but it's not worth the manpower.

It really is way too above and beyond.

The entire point is that it's effectively 95% offline. It wouldn't need to be maintained at that point. It's borderline giving a simplified UI to SteamCMD. It's wild to me that you or anyone else is against a concept as basic "can my game still run".

So tell me, how long will it be until you start suggesting that you can't connect to Steam until you have literally the most recent windows update that might only be 2 hours old?

Asking for not-nonexistent backwards compatibility is worthy of the Assange treatment?

Nah. It'll die off as soon as the forums find the next big thing to be angry about. Then it'll resurface a bit on january.

If anything it seems it's not dying because mods haven't opted for merging threads so it looks there's a lot of activity, but for the most part is duplicate discussions with the same people posting in them.
