Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Not really Steam's fault, their app is built in a chromium browser, which stopped supporting those OSes a few years ago. A perfect example of Google having too much control over the Internet. This is what happens when big companies are allowed to purchase their competitors.
Edit: people in this thread are either really forgetting how much trust google used to have with basically the entire Internet. They were seen as the "good guys" for a long time.
Or they're forgetting how unique and revolutionary chromium based desktop apps were when they first came out. It is a colossal pain in the ass to create a modern browser, if you have a web page in your desktop app like steam does, it quickly became a very difficult, time consuming, and virtually fruitless endeavor to develop a headless browser just to sit within your desktop app when you could just go with chromium.
Yeah, right… it’s my fault that Valve decided to use Chromium crap in their client.
Fanboys don’t even question themselves if it didn’t made sense to have a lite version of the client without the browser, you know, to play games! (͡•_ ͡• )
Never said it was your fault, I explicitly said it was Google's doing but ok be mad if you want to
I know you never said it was my fault. I was being sarcastic! What you said was that, it wasn’t Valve’s choice, but this is wrong. It is their fault. It’s was their decision to use an external software which is out of their control. It was their decision, so everything good/bad with this decision it will always be their fault.
What I’m trying to tell you, is that people are quick to give credits to Valve, but when they do shit (and I’ve been using their services for so long, that I’ve seen plenty of it), it’s rarely their fault.
