I’d really like to hope it’s a genuine effort to preserve history.
There’s a lot of history on Steam and losing it to dead os’es sucks. I know my account has a few hundred games that are a pain in the ass to get running on modern hardware without PCGamingWiki, ModDB, Widescreen Gaming Forums, etc…
I mean, I have seen online of people playing older Windows games on Linux, Steam Deck especially. Even though it most likely not as huge market compared to [insert new game], there’s still fair share people that would buy the old game, even if it may be troublesome to run especially on Windows 10/11.
it makes you wonder why valve is pursuing it; are there enough people still playing these old games to justify a profit from the endeavor?

Be cool to have them plug and play under proton.
This isn’t a Valve project
