 STEAM, I'll AGAIN ask politely... Will I be able to play t..
I'll ask AGAIN politely and no, NO I will not shut up until I have a
reply!
Will I be able to install and run the STEAM games I payed for, in...
lets say a years time if I run Windows 98?
I will re-install both my OS and the games themselves!
So, its YES or NO?
And I only want a YES/NO answer and I don't give a damn about what you
feel JUST ANSWER ME YES OR NO!
I know why STEAM LOVERs don't want to give me a direct answer and just
give me BS excuses
This is big, BIG and not only its BIG, its easy to understand by
everyone and probably for the first time many PC Gamers will truly
understand what is in stake with STEAM, and the meaning of a Service
Based System which is what STEAM is.
When I in 2004 shouted out loud about STEAM being a SERVICE and all
the dangers that could come from it, nobody understood me and still
the majority doesn't, but this, this has such immediate implications
and consequences everyone I mean EVERYONE will understand, finally
understand what I was saying back in 2004 when I warned about the
danger of STEAM being a SERVICE
So I will not give up until I have a straight answer... so what it
will be: YES or NO?

No
Which coincidentally is also the answer to the question "Does anyone care?"
It's entirely reasonable for a service provider to cease supporting a
product that the product's manufacturer has ceased supporting.
Which brings us back to your real problem - it's nothing to do with Windows
98, it's the fact that you object to the Steam distribution model itself. I
don't think that I'm the only one who thinks you're a bit of a tit for
buying into a service that you cannot sustain. There is always a choice. At
the most basic level, it's "buy it" or "don't buy it"
My own "polite" suggestion is that you write direct to Steam customer
services directly, asking for an explanation. If they ignore your direct
communication, then hopefully you'll realise there's zero chance of them
replying in a forum they probably don't even read.

Hopefully not.
Hopefully, Valve will stop supporting extinct OSes and will concentrate all
their excellence merely on superceded OSes.
Hey, you're name isn't Dale Gribble is it?
Now shut up!

* Because his picnic is deficient in the sandwich department to the tune of
one.
* Because, whilst he has a full set of light-bulbs, there are one or two
that would appear to have blown.
* Because there are only 51 cards in his favourite deck of cards.
Come on guys, you know the tune now, sing along...
