Yeah, all those parents paying for Fortnite battlepasses keep buying me games.
Epic is throwing so much of their Fortnite money at the free games, that the store still isn't profitable.
Imagine being Epic, having a money printer called Fortnite, and still making such poor business decisions, that you end up losing money.
>a matter of weeks before Windows 7 users are locked out of their purchases
How dare you see something to the end of its use! You must buy more things!
Then explain how I can still use it perfectly well? My whole computer still works just great because I look after things. I won't be forced into brainless consumerism.
Sure but if you're a multi-million dollar company, do you want to keep using time and resources to ensure that your product still works on a platform that increasingly less and less people are using by the year or focus those efforts into making sure it still works on what people are currently using and are going to use?
because gaben let some lazy israelites take over their company and instead of making software they did the pajeet thing and refedeemed the CEF code sir. Now steam is a chronium based product. Google 'dropped' win7 support which means all cef programs from 2023 onward wont 'support win7'. Yes, that includes the gay game launchers for your 200x era f2p games.
>but why
because google literally puts a windows version verification check in their cef products to make sure you do the needful and redeme the code for windows 10/11 so you can be part of their dystopian botnet.
Linux can keep growing, while W7 is a dying platform owned and controlled by Microsoft that will fall into complete obscurity within a couple of years.
Also because Linux is their contingency plan in case Microsoft makes their life difficult on Windows in the future.
>why is valve supporting linux after microsoft threatened to lock their shit behind an app store >why is valve not supporting a dying OS that's about to stop receiving security updates
it's a mystery
>Windows Vista >official support ended in 2012 >extended support(paid) ended in 2017 >Steam stopped supporting Vista in 2019
Steam supports old OSs longer than anyone would reasonably expect them to.

you don't have to use steam thoughever? pirate? emulate? >b-but muh online only competitive drm anticheat games!
if you want to play them to begin with, consider importing somali sperm and drinking a glass a day instead of gaming. you'll probably enjoy it more.
And yet every Starforce game gets cracked unlike Denuvo.

Not for gaming. The only reason Microsoft still extended support until 2023, was to allow people more time to upgrade. If they choose to use Windows 7 going forward, they're going to run the risk of hackers turning their computers into bitcoin farms.

Because it's FOSS, you're also free to fork it and rename blacklist and slave to Black personlist and Black person if you want to. And unlike windows, linux doesn't put troony flags on my taskbar or as a screensaver.

What do you think will happen if people actually switch to a platform where everyone's first time setting it up involves googling random SUDO commands to enter in an attempt to fix things? It's going to be a bloodbath.
>Macs don't get viruses
Yes they did. Just at a lower rate, because there were less of them. They still sold anti-virus/spyware/malware programs for Macs. >Linux
Where did I say that random tech-illiterates should be using command line? I said, if you cared about computer protection. Normalgays don't care about that.
Nice strawman.

Huh? The whole point of software is that it's infinitely replicable at no cost
I don't care that Win 7 is better than its successors, it's moronic to compare updating software to throwing away a physical object
>my entire system will have to be replaced.
wtf, anon. Computer parts aren't that expensive. You can get a prebuilt tower or a laptop from whatever computer store is near, for under $1k. It will have Win11, preinstalled for you.
It doesn't take that much time to save for a new computer. Just throw your change into a jar, and save it. You'll end up with enough for a new computer, before it's absolutely necessary.
>It doesn't take that much time to save for a new computer.

You're a homosexual for ignoring everything I just said. Anyone can save the $400ish to get a new computer. Especially if you keep your eye on sales, and watch for individual parts.
You don't need to be dropping $2k+ on a computer every year.
If you can't afford to spend a few hundred on your computer, every year, then you don't have time to be shitposting about gaming.
Wouldn't matter if you were a consolegay or not. Gaming is a luxury hobby.
But a computer that gets security updates is a necessity. Using Windows 7 is a security risk, and has been for quite some time, if you're trying to pull the "cost of living crisis" bullshit, because Windows 7 stopped getting free updates years ago.
Now stop lying about this. Everyone can afford to save a few hundred dollars every few years, to get a computer from BestBuy/Walmart.
Or you buy a Mac mini at 699 and you get everything you need to shitpost on /v. For remaining part, you pick up one of switch/ps/xbox.

There's nothing in Steam that's stopping you, you're strawmanning, because Microsoft won't offer you security updates. The Windows 7 OS works the same today, and Jan 2023, when they stopped giving security updates(that you weren't getting because they were paid, and you actually had upgraded to Win 10/11 years ago).

I'm gonna be honest, the bizarre bootlicking affinity that steam users have to their rented games made me switch to epic as my primary, more money goes to the devs which is good but mainly it just makes people seethe
Literally why is it Valve's fault when all their competitors cried and fricked off to consoles? Or that over the two decades of their existence, all their competitors completely shat the fricking bed?
the problem i have with steam or any drm is that you're just buying the licenses for the game. if you get banned for any reason you lose access to the games you've paid for.
top kek steam is extremely extremely third time saying it extremely lenient on its userbase. if your getting banned thats fricking rare as frick. rare as frick. saying it a third time its rare as frick.
im guessing you can only get banned from steam if you somehow post pedo shit
I got permanently banned from steam for posting the truth about israelites, nonwhites, women, Ukraine, covid and the LGBTQP. Haven't yet tried making an account since Israel decided it's going to oppress Gaza more but I imagine my views on hamas won't be accepted by ((Valve)).
Not community banned/banned from forums but my account is not only one it's well... Look, anytime I try using the same credit card as the financial thing for it, steam logs me out and bans it.
I just don't get why Steam has to be such bloat. I'm fine with it as a games launcher. but half the shit that's eating up RAM I don't use and will never care about. Why wouldn't I pirate something when that's one less account to worry about, one less program to install and to not worry about what I "own" being taken from me?
>Death of PC-gaming

A lot of the best-selling and best reviewed video games of the last several years have no Denuvo. It's a meme and a cope for mediocre game devs.

Sure but if you're a multi-million dollar company, do you want to keep using time and resources to ensure that your product still works on a platform that increasingly less and less people are using by the year or focus those efforts into making sure it still works on what people are currently using and are going to use?
>Sure but if you're a multi-million dollar company
Yes.
So why's Valve support Linux while removing w7 when they have around the same amount of users?
There's like a billion different Linux distros so I imagine numbers are skewed if you just look at one.
Because Linux get updated while Windows 7 isn't
because gaben let some lazy israelites take over their company and instead of making software they did the pajeet thing and refedeemed the CEF code sir. Now steam is a chronium based product. Google 'dropped' win7 support which means all cef programs from 2023 onward wont 'support win7'. Yes, that includes the gay game launchers for your 200x era f2p games.

That's not a ToS and has nothing to do with end users. If you're not literally contributing code then it's irrelevant. Because it's FOSS, you're also free to fork it and rename blacklist and slave to Black personlist and Black person if you want to. And unlike windows, linux doesn't put troony flags on my taskbar or as a screensaver.

good morning sirs!
Normalgays ar moronic and people with common sense avoid tracking. NEWS AT 11!
Use another computer to monitor gaming pc internet traffic? This is the answer I got from /v last time.
>anon defends his bitcoin farming infected computer by saying that he has common sense
If you wanted computer protection, you would have switched to Linux years ago.
>Macs don't get viruses! (1997)
>Well now that everyone uses them, people started making viruses for macs so.
>Linus doesn't get viruses! (2012)
What do you think will happen if people actually switch to a platform where everyone's first time setting it up involves googling random SUDO commands to enter in an attempt to fix things? It's going to be a bloodbath.
>Macs don't get viruses
Yes they did. Just at a lower rate, because there were less of them. They still sold anti-virus/spyware/malware programs for Macs.
>Linux
Where did I say that random tech-illiterates should be using command line? I said, if you cared about computer protection. Normalgays don't care about that.
Nice strawman.
People still do. Useful things don't get thrown away, at least not in my house.
I know people who have had two new phones this year. It's beyond me.
Just look after things, it's not difficult.
>thrown away
Huh? The whole point of software is that it's infinitely replicable at no cost
I don't care that Win 7 is better than its successors, it's moronic to compare updating software to throwing away a physical object
>comparing a physical electronic device to digital software
The internet needs gatekeeping.
If I am to change to Windows 11, my entire system will have to be replaced.
>my entire system will have to be replaced.
wtf, anon. Computer parts aren't that expensive. You can get a prebuilt tower or a laptop from whatever computer store is near, for under $1k. It will have Win11, preinstalled for you.
It doesn't take that much time to save for a new computer. Just throw your change into a jar, and save it. You'll end up with enough for a new computer, before it's absolutely necessary.
>It doesn't take that much time to save for a new computer.
There's a cost of living crisis, children, a mortgage and bills to worry about. I shouldn't have to fork out more to use software I've already paid for.
But I'm not worth billions of dollars, so who cares what I think?
So do you just give that excuse for everything?
Just admit you're poor because you make shit financial decisions
>There's a cost of living crisis, children, a mortgage and bills to worry about
You're a homosexual for ignoring everything I just said. Anyone can save the $400ish to get a new computer. Especially if you keep your eye on sales, and watch for individual parts.
You don't need to be dropping $2k+ on a computer every year.
If you can't afford to spend a few hundred on your computer, every year, then you don't have time to be shitposting about gaming.
Wouldn't matter if you were a consolegay or not. Gaming is a luxury hobby.
But a computer that gets security updates is a necessity. Using Windows 7 is a security risk, and has been for quite some time, if you're trying to pull the "cost of living crisis" bullshit, because Windows 7 stopped getting free updates years ago.
Now stop lying about this. Everyone can afford to save a few hundred dollars every few years, to get a computer from BestBuy/Walmart.
Or you buy a Mac mini at 699 and you get everything you need to shitpost on /v. For remaining part, you pick up one of switch/ps/xbox.
>$700 for a Mac that limits what you can do with it
>waste even more on a console to be able to finally play games
I said under $1k. You can spend $400 on a Windows machine, and game better than consolegays.
But you've bought into the Apple lifestyle, so you're blind to facts, because Apple product loyalty is irrational.
Because apple don’t have bullshit constant updates and have lifetime OS support.
>apple don’t have bullshit constant updates
That's not a good thing.
>have lifetime OS support
They stopped support of OS10 last year, which was released in 2019. Apple has one of the worst track records with supporting OSs.
>I already have that
No, you used to have that. You can still play your old games, as you always could.
>a multi-billion dollar corporation says I can't use it any more
There's nothing in Steam that's stopping you, you're strawmanning, because Microsoft won't offer you security updates. The Windows 7 OS works the same today, and Jan 2023, when they stopped giving security updates(that you weren't getting because they were paid, and you actually had upgraded to Win 10/11 years ago).
>game better than consolegays
I already have that, but a multi-billion dollar corporation says I can't use it any more.
>wingay
deserved
I hate them because of lootbox but
They don’t own windows
They don’t own directX
So it isn’t their problem.

it literally isn't their problem
I'm gonna be honest, the bizarre bootlicking affinity that steam users have to their rented games made me switch to epic as my primary, more money goes to the devs which is good but mainly it just makes people seethe

Who hurt you, thirdie?
Do the needful and use EGS instead
stop getting in the way of SteamDeck shills
Literally why is it Valve's fault when all their competitors cried and fricked off to consoles? Or that over the two decades of their existence, all their competitors completely shat the fricking bed?
the problem i have with steam or any drm is that you're just buying the licenses for the game. if you get banned for any reason you lose access to the games you've paid for.
top kek steam is extremely extremely third time saying it extremely lenient on its userbase. if your getting banned thats fricking rare as frick. rare as frick. saying it a third time its rare as frick.
im guessing you can only get banned from steam if you somehow post pedo shit
I got permanently banned from steam for posting the truth about israelites, nonwhites, women, Ukraine, covid and the LGBTQP. Haven't yet tried making an account since Israel decided it's going to oppress Gaza more but I imagine my views on hamas won't be accepted by ((Valve)).
Not community banned/banned from forums but my account is not only one it's well... Look, anytime I try using the same credit card as the financial thing for it, steam logs me out and bans it.
Post proof, schizo.
PC Gaming would be in a much worse spot today if it weren't for Steam and Valve.
we dont deserve GoG but we need it badly
Microsoft will buy steam, merge it with the xbox app and save pc gaming
>Thought Provoking Image
>Unintelligible Rhetoric
If Japan survived being the gaming mecca of the world despite having PC games being relegated to kusoge VN shit, then we're fine.
I just don't get why Steam has to be such bloat. I'm fine with it as a games launcher. but half the shit that's eating up RAM I don't use and will never care about. Why wouldn't I pirate something when that's one less account to worry about, one less program to install and to not worry about what I "own" being taken from me?
