TLDR: Steam will stop working on Windows XP/Vista on January 1. 2019. Upgrade or lose access to your games.
Pretty rude if you ask me.
Are there people still running XP? I mean, MS even stopped "extended" support for it years ago. I can't imagine it's easy finding software that still runs on it. And games especially...
Guys.... I might actually finish the main game for Wildlands! 85hrs in and I've got only 3 more regions to clear for kingslayer files and other collectables! Oh also story missions too but fuck them, FILES TO COLLECT YO!

My old laptop still works and can run era-appropriate games. I understand not getting any upgrades or to play any new stuff.
It's the part where you can't play the old games you have purchased back in the days of the dinosa... XP.

I can't believe they don't have a "hide people who are offline" feature for the beta or that they didn't make it so collapsed groups don't stay collapsed.
It's such a mess right now.

For some reason I've had an inkling to play a point-and-click adventure game this week and I've been pleasantly surprised by THE RAVEN. It's not anything groundbreaking but it's a rare thing to enjoy the characters more than the story. The set pieces tick along at a steady, unhurried pace (you play an aging Swiss police officer, after all) and the very few puzzles that are present are nicely signposted and require zero moon logic. That's not to say the story lacks drama, it's quite full of it, but in a Midsummers Murder kind of way.
I feel I'm nearing the end of the second act now ,and as long as it sticks the landing in wrapping up the game this would stand to be a good recommendation. Especially with the Steam sale so near; good backlog fodder
I wanna complain about Accessibility, but considering the number of security breaches running those old systems allows, rather then a free Linux distribution I cannot say anything.
As far as who is running XP and Vista nowadays, it's cheap people in the global north, and people who can neither afford or do not know any better in the global South
Once the vendor have stopped extended support on an OS, it's really unsurprising for a secondary service to do the same.
Compatibility patching and QA is, and I speak from experience, a living, endless nightmare from which we never wake. Any excuse to remove something from the supported stack will be met with cheers and beers.
XP is something like 0.5% of the global Windows user base, and most of that is enterprise systems which can't shift over without having to do a whole bunch of OS related procurement / repatching.
If your personal desktop is also in that 0.5%, I'm sorry, but you're just not economical to support.
Anyone else having issues getting to, like, the Storefront or the Community Hub in Steam? I can see my library just fine, but anything other than that just doesn't seem to be working.

Would you Like to Know More about Windows 10?
Would this still be able issue, though, it games installed into their own folders instead of a Steam folder? So you're not opening /steam/app/78698; you're opening /games/BadRats/BadRats.exe
Or is this more of the issue that a select minority are losing access to their library in Steam? In other words, could people get around this by downloading/installing their games on their XP systems prior to this change going Live?
Also, I'd assume this only affects older titles originally created for the XP era, so the relative percentage of games themselves is small.

It's more of a "Valve is stealing our games" kinda thing.
I do have a perfectly good win 10 desktop for home gaming, but I still have my old laptop that just got invalidated.
Time to go full GOG then. They literally can't remove your access to installed games.
You may have heard that Yakuza is coming to Steam. Now Stabbity Style's PS4 is pointless.
Send me a PM with a suggestion as to what Stabbity should do with his PS4 now that it's purpose has been removed and there are clearly no other games to justify its existence.
Geth will pick one of those suggestions and if he picks you then you'll have Yakuza 0 to look forward to too.
Send me submissions until 6/13 12pm pacific time. Then Geth will do his thing.

Not sure they have to offer continued support. Just change the approach - after a certain date, you will no longer get Steam updates or be able to connect to Steam if you are on XP. Provide a path for people to go to (permanent until OS upgrade) offline mode, and download all their games. Or maybe a hybrid where you don't get any steam features, can't buy anything, but you can still download game packages?
Yeah no previous Yakuza experience is required for this. So don't feel like you need to have played any others to get in on this.
It's the earliest chronologically, but recent technologically/design wise so you get the best of both worlds for a good place to start.

I will say that Kiwami is not quite as well fleshed out as Zero is. It's a remake of the original game, so it'd be the next one to play in sequence. It's the first game remade in the 0 engine. They've added in some extra stuff, especially stuff that references Zero and fleshes out the original story in good ways. BUT it's not as well polished a game as Zero. I think they didn't want to deviate from the original game too much so it still feels a bit rougher in general than Zero did. But it's still good and worth playing.
I think Zero is probably the best game in the series as a complete package from the main plot , zany side content, mini games large and small.
Just watched that. A little annoyed that he puts Sony on full blast (which they deserve) but effectively gives Epic a pass. They are enforcing Sony's rules while presumably (I don't have an Epic account) not adequately warning users that linking the account with Sony will lock it out of other systems.

If a game does not have drm included, you should be able to just run the executable, regardless of if steam is installed/working or not. A game also may not work if it has steam integration for online services.

I think 0 here is being used to denote a prequel?
No if it's a prequel it would be Yakuza 76.

Also, other Tales games are on sale:
Tales of Symphonia - $4.99
Tales of Zestria - $12.49
But - that also means I'm out of the gifting game for a while. Sorry, Valve. The Summer Dale will have to go on without me!
But what of the Summer Steve or Summer Tom?
And then Yakuza Kiwami, which is also coming to Steam, is an update of the original Yakuza game with it's story and systems being brought into line with Yakuza 0.
I never liked those guys anyway.
So what you're saying is that everyone should gift you to make up for it, right? Right.
I will say that Kiwami is not quite as well fleshed out as Zero is. It's a remake of the original game, so it'd be the next one to play in sequence. It's the first game remade in the 0 engine.
