The reason why Steam will no longer allow me to play my purchased games on Windows 7 is a DRM issue which they could easily fix with a lightweight program.
Do you realize how ridiculous it is that playing a desktop game depends on a freaking web browser?? That is just unbelievably stupid.
No.
The reason is that Chromium doesn’t support the OS anymore and Steam is Chromium based.
You purchased the right to install games from Steam knowing you need it to install and play the games, you knew full well that no Steam = no games, your accepted that DRM as long as it didn’t get in your way. Looks like no matter how ridiculous you say it is now it didn’t stop you from spending your money.
But that lack of logic shouldn’t suprise me considering you’re running an unsafe OS but you fear Microsoft and not all the hackers that now have access to your shit.
Actually I did not know that. It pisses me off that I bought Axis and Allies Online on Steam instead of GOG one week before it became unplayable on Steam on my Windows 7 system. I will ALWAYS check GOG from now on.
You agreed to a TOS. Not reading it was your fault. I’ll admit that extremely long TOSes are kind of a dark pattern, but you did agree to them.
