so steam likes to loose halve a billion in revenue a year.

[De Hollandse Ezel]

there are 120 million active users.
about 1% of those still use windows 7 thats 1.2 million.

i as one of those spend easely 400 euro a year on steam on average.
last 6 years it be more like 600 euro a year.

400 euro x 1.2 million users is well over half a billion usd

because steam drops win 7 support without providing the common decency of creating a way forcwin 7 users to install and launch theit games under windows 7 as they should

i and many lile me vow to never spend a cent on steam anymore.

you rotten drm service when added to fysical copies
robbed me of the right to 2dhand trade and obtain games after they are no longer for salle in store
to launch more than 1 game I own at the same time
and heavely reduced my right of return..

but to turn games in perishable goods is where i draw the line..
that is the one that truelly is unforgivable!

Wrong calculations , Steam annual revenue 8.5 bil . From Windows users less then 8.5 bil . 1% old Windows means Steam could lose less than 85 millions in revenue .

lol, looks like OP sucks at 6 year old calculus too

APU with 3D performance equal to GTX1650 are coming . NVidia discontinues GTX 1650 by the mid of 2024 and rolls out RTX 3050 with 6GB VRAM and 70-75W TDP.

That is an interesting claim. However here on the steam forums we do require proof of such claims. Please provide us with a link to your source where you found this information.

I was referring to the part that you said they are discontinuing the GTX 1650 next year.

edit: It looks like someone was making up Bulls___ and deleted everything, lol.

"400 euro a year on steam" but can't afford a modern PC???

[Revelene]

Windows versions come and go, it has always has been this way. You really shouldn't be surprised, especially since this was announced well in advance.

...but you'll cry about it anyways, just like the babies that did over every previous version of Windows.

Yea I mean back when many were buying new PCs that shipped with WinXP you still had various people using a range of WinOS; from 98, 98SE, ME and Win2K

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Of course... bunch of lazy bums

My favorite part here is where you assume people running a 14 year old OS share the same habits as you and are spending hundreds of dollars per year. Perhaps you need a bit more than sample size of one.

Also you might consider Valve has much visibility into Windows 7 users than you do.

And as I predicted earlier this year Windows 7 users have dropped quite a lot, and that's been ramping up as the deadline gets closer. At the moment it's much less than 1%, by the time the January hardware survey comes out it'll be close 0.5% or less. That's 0.5% of the lowest value users on Steam.

No one's forcing you to use Steam. And none of the rules, or conditions, including end of support for OS'es is new or a secret...

Upgrades and updates have been a core part of PC gaming for decades. Pretending like games are perishable goods because you're not going to upgrade, or didn't plan ahead is rank hyperbole.

Regardless eventually you'll be using a new PC with a new OS, and somehow those perished goods will rise from their graves... and maybe that will soothe your angst.

Except the moderators like to watch the trolling continue.

This is how we know these are fake / troll threads: They write claims like that then never come back to us with further information.

yup. There are games that I struggle to get working on newer OS', but most of those problems started with Windows 7 lol. That doesn't mean I haven't gotten them working, they just took lots of extra effort.
