If Valve really wanted to make a splash, they could release a desktop version of SteamOS in October, right when support for Windows 10 ends. For additional damage, they could bundle in Half-Life 3. Just imagine the coverage this would get.

    You’re forgetting that valve can also drop support for EOL versions of windows, which so far they have.

      True, but for example for Win7 they dropped support last year I think. So quite some time.

        I think that was them drawing a line on eol windows. They cut both 7 and 8.1 at the same time. Could just be the policy now.

        Part of me wants them to take the opportunity to push people to switch to Linux, the other part of me thinks that will be perceived no differently from msft’s badgering about win11.
