]]> Comment on Windows 98/ME support ending this July by Valve is a Souless http://steamreview.org/posts/win98supportends/#comment-4631 Valve is a Souless Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:09:57 +0000 http://steamreview.org/posts/win98supportends/#comment-4631 I read a comment one of the administrators made, "Treat yourself to visa" he says. That is quite the treat indeed, more errors to deal with, little to no support from the help functions they program into it, more succeptable to viruses and spyware and a whopping price to top it all off Windows 98 was made before corperations started pulling shady moves like what steam is doing right now, therefore it is the most reliable system they got. Regardless of any legal "rights" they have to pull the support of windows 98, morally, we small majority of 98 users deserve respect to play the games we purchased from this company.

Something like play Steam Games on Windows 9x on your own risk...:) I called Steam plenty names after i put an old pc runing and can't play on it...:/ But I still love Steam, play and use it on Windows XP (new PC) but, i could be playing right now on this old pc that is at my worksatition. It's a shame :x Btw i think there is someone in this world that can make steam run on windows Me again, but maybe that person, with that kind of knowleged doesn't know that some cs lovers can't play cs on old OS that worked fine in the past. Thanks! p.s. sorry for my english, probably there's some bad typing =) My other computer is too old to run windows xp but it works fine on windows Me, its ok if they stop suporting windows 95/98/me…but they should had released a patch or something like that, to let ppl like me still be able play CS online on older OS.

They'll have to do better than that to convince me… Besides Earth 2150 and Stardock’s own content, I’m not seeing anything I’ve heard of that Steam doesn’t offer as well; and at the moment, the feature set lags (with no autoupdates, and seemingly no Common Virtual Drive as of yet).
