The Future Of Gaming On Windows 7?

[legacyfan]

with the announcement of the end-of-support for steam on 7 is there even a future for other steam like programs on these platforms? or is this the end of the gaming age on these platforms?

Ghetto fix that works for XP is to download the games on an external drive, and then hook that drive up to an old version of Steam running on XP. This will probably happen with 7 if Steam changes the way their CDN works again. Alternatively, you can try Steam emulators from certain forums that are made to support XP (this leans into the territory of warez, which NoCD patches are certainly a thing and are responsible for things like Elden Ring on Windows 7/8 but I won't share any links).

I'll try both when I get the chance. I really want to play Sven Co-op on my XP gaming machine.
