No, Eccles, that isn’t what it means. Planned obsolescence is the deliberate action of abandoning perfectly viable firmware for the purpose of forcing users to upgrade their system. Your OS is decades old. Over a decade.
im having problems now accessing websites from my XP laptop, i cant get a new browser for it
Viability is irrelevent
Your OS is NOT perfectly viable.
They sometimes make a sort of warranty or promise "we'll support it at least X many years so you can feel safe about buying it"
I'm on Windows 10, btw
else you're a filthy corporatist
Then shut the fuck up and install steam
and yes i know my xp laptop is obsolete, that one is a special case as it runs eprom programmer software that doesnt work on anything newer
Literally arguing nothing here
Me being a boomer doesn't mean you're right when you're clearly not
support Atari console
support Playstation 1 for PC games made today
else you're a greedy pig
For someone bitching about strawmen earlier, you're certainly trotting plenty out, COolitic
What am I not right about? If you’re arguing from the position that abandoning XP is planned obsolescence, then you’re retarded. If you’re arguing that steam licenses games, then you’re just wrong.
There’s not a single thing you’re right about here.
Abandoning XP wasn't the issue
Yes
he's literally just salty that he doesnt know how to upkeep his games
You didn’t lose access. If you wanted a refund, you can call support and they will pay you back. If you wanted to play them, they’re also attached to your steam account.
that's literally all that's happening here
he doesnt have a legitimate point to make
Not to ride gayben’s cock or anything, but you’re fucking lucky it was steam. Any other platform and they’d have you buy the game again.
They did only one thing wrong - they should have made those legacy products entirely offline, removed the DRM from them
The moment you clicked install, that was the only RDM it needed
DRM*
And again as coolithic said, you can play offline
I don't have an issue with Steam as it is, other than some retarded bugs
you just said you hated steam
Then what are we even arguing about?
earlier
I hate that they make out you're buying games when you're renting them
the trouble is steam library functionality dies as soon as theres no working client, so you can never delete anything. thats not steams fault, you should back up your machine
Read the fucking EULA.
Please.
I beg of you.
