Steam Has Dropped Windows 7 and 8

Now, the game store and launcher Steam has officially ended support for Windows 7 and 8.

Valve said last year, “We strongly encourage all Windows 7/8/8.1 users to update sooner rather than later.

That malware can cause your PC, Steam and games to perform poorly or crash.

That malware can also be used to steal the credentials for your Steam account or other services.”

Some Windows PC games are also playable on Linux throughSteam’s Proton compatibility layer.
