Been expecting that... So, automatic obsolescence... rendering all of your games incompatible with your computer... wow
"Valve announced that its Steam online game platform will officially drop support for the Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 platforms starting January 1st, 2024.
Once it reaches the end-of-support date, the Steam Client software will stop working on these out-of-support Windows versions, with Valve recommending users to upgrade to a more recent Windows version to continue playing their games via Steam.
'This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows,' Valve said.
'In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.'"
Windows will be dropping Win10 support soon, and my computers can't run 11. I can't afford a new computer...
