And now I remembered as to why PC gaming mostly fell out of favor for me, forced obsolescence! I used to really like PC gaming a few years ago, but ever since Steam announced they would be dropping W7, not really that much anymore! Now I ONLY have Minecraft, and if anyone recommended me a game that required me to have any kind of game client installed, I won't buy it! The last time I ever bought something from any game client was November 2022. These days, I'm mainly investing in legacy consoles, including Nintendo DS/3DS, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, PS Vita, PS3, and PSP, because at least with these, as long as I have the system, I'm good to go. I'm not forced to have some game client installed just to play the game. Also, my gosh, I remember when I first got The Sims 4 (back in May 2022), which I literally no longer have access to, from Steam and needing to have another game client installed, which was Origin at the time, I wasn't impressed, literally needing to have TWO game clients installed just to play 1 game, like it's ridiculous, and I don't think I'm alone in saying this! Nowadays, I only use PC for specific things, and that's about it. For gaming, my Nintendo/PlayStation collection is what I'm into anymore.
Oh, but I will note that I have The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 on discs, which don't need the EA App, so I can still play these on my W7 PCs.
Sincerely,
A former Sims 4 player
