It ought to tell them to "upgrade to a more recent OS" instead of being Windows-centric.

Steam

Windows Centric

You do realize what platform/company we’re talking about, right?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, we're talking about Valve, which has a vested interest in pushing gamers towards Linux in order to protect itself from anti-competitive behavior by Microsoft.

I think that's exactly their point. Why would Valve tell users to "upgrade" to a more recent version of Windows? Tell them to upgrade to Linux

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 weeks ago

But they're using Windows. It isn't telling this to Mac/Linux users.
