That's why I argued at the outset you're renting the game, not buying it

Of course you are

But on games on CD/DVD or older, provided you have the hardware you can always use them

And what's more important, is given the direction of travel, you will find people being banned on Steam for poltiical views or in-game behaviour

Or whatever the platform is at the time (Stadia etc)

It's planned obsolenscence

Gespa - if you decide you are going to stop supporting an operating system, then that is planned obsolenscence

That's what the term means

We will stop support x at time y

The reasons are entirely reasonable

Of course it's fucking planned

Look at Microsoft's website, they state at the outset when they are supporting software until

Yes, Coolitic, the reasons for doing it are understandable

Viability is irrelevent

I'm on Windows 10, btw

Me being a boomer doesn't mean you're right when you're clearly not

For someone bitching about strawmen earlier, you're certainly trotting plenty out, COolitic

Abandoning XP wasn't the issue

Yes

They did only one thing wrong - they should have made those legacy products entirely offline, removed the DRM from them

I don't have an issue with Steam as it is, other than some retarded bugs

I hate that they make out you're buying games when you're renting them

Shove the EULA up your distended anus, Gespa

Literally nobody cares

That's not what open-source means

Was

It was the being forced to change that made me fall out with Steam because of the way they ended the support

Ironically it was Microsoft -sensible- decision to allow the installation of WIndows 10 without a license key that saved me

Can't be much longer, System11

I have an old laptop running W7, it's got the specs to run W10 but won't because W10 is buggy and there is no value for M$ in fixing it

if it's got 2gb of ram, it should

but chance are it won't because fuck M$

you shouldn't, it's well supported

it'll be the bios that'll fuck you up if anything

hasn't it offered you a w10 upgrade via windows update?

W10 installer has issues with some legacy bioses, Coolitic, it's why it won't install on my old laptop

Yes, it does, but not all of them

Well that's not Microsoft are telling me

You can download the iso's from their website, System11

Windows update on my laptop says otherwise, Gespa

Could resize your partition and install on that, System11

Bit of a risk attached

Sounds like you have a plan then

I quit trying to upgrade my laptop because it wasn't sufficiently important, and microsoft "professionals" were just being shit

I tried Linux for a year - it's shit

Tried a few different ones, but mostly they suffered from the thing linux has suffered since i first tried it 20 years ago - poor hardware support

That and Steam linux support... just isn't there yet

Better than it was the last time i tried it, but still not there yet

I found it frustrating as the last thing I wanted to do after a day at work is come home and have to fuck around trying to build drivers and edit config files

THat's very much a thing for teenagers and bright eyed young idealists like Coolitic

Only beef I had with Steam was their EOL methodology. As a time-poor boomer and sperg, it should be obvious to understand why. It's a shame you and Coolitic were so antagonistic

But I still use Steam, and am reasonably content with it

I'm sorry for shoving a EULA up your anus

Unless you enjoy that kind of thing

Are those dots ascii?

I crawl out of bed to find this

By the way, thank you for your service Laucivol

Vir joined the Labour party...

I like Jeremy Corbyn... as a person

Sounds like someone's been watching "We got a problem/Crimebodge"

*peer* @svarozhyc

So do I, Vir

Can you suck a golf ball up a garden hose though?

Mikey is definitely a twink

This is true, June, however the same armed forces are also utterly required for defending -us-

And you want them onside in a revolution

Who's that, God, Porochenko?

The Russia-facing guy was removed in a pseudo-coup some years ago

The one before the one before the comedfian

Agitated by foreign NGO's funded by people including George Soros

I'm not saying the guy was clean, he was a Russian shill, just that the place is a mess

You have to care about Ukraine, they're the buffer between Europe and Russia

Same reason you should care about what your neighbour does, June

I think Russia would be better in Europe's sphere

death?

lol, it morphed, not died

it morphed into russo-china

Joss Whedon? Nah, he's still OK

Wil Wheaton is the massive cock holster

What is a 'tranny supporter'?

Oh ffs Mikey

That's disappointing, PureEvilPie needs to have his anus ruined

What is it about people with shitty politics like PureEvilPie always picking on people?

He should do, Jack, he has no opinions of his own

ffs Jack, just send them dick pics and get it over with

those others present who appear obsessed with you

nah

hey, that's unfair - i'm old and shrinking

tallness in men correllates negatively with iq

are you like 12, Lune?

You're anorexic girl

Have a burger or two

You're quite a long way underweight, Marie

Stop taking crack already

Healthy weight for 150cm is 48kg

I don't think i've ever met anyone that short

I couldn't countenance dating a midget like Lunemarie, i'd be terrified of breaking her

(no offence)

Taking bets on LuneMarie actually being 12

She's not 12, folks
