Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Look at the EULA, you're not buying the game, you're buying the right to play it and that right can be taken from you at any time, that's been the main criticism against the switch to digital platforms from the moment Steam started existing and if you had taken 30 seconds to think about it you would have realized it. Heck, just the fact that you can get banned from Steam and lose access to your library should have made that pretty fucking clear!
That's why I buy them on GOG and not Steam.
Make up your fucking mind, do you or do you not buy games on Steam?
GOG didn't exist in 2003, Steam supported Windows 9x then and one day they stopped supporting it, so you probably have games on it that went from being playable to not being playable on W98 or XP or Vista. You never stopped to think about that when deciding to continue running an OS that reached its end of life?
WOW WTF??. That does it. I will definitely not give Steam another dime.
I bought many games that originally played on Win 98 you were talking about on GOG and play them on Win 10.
I stupidly bought Axis and Allies Online a week ago on Steam. Learned I cannot play it on Windows 7 after one week. Then learned I could have bought it on GOG instead without the ridiculous DRM.
