      because valvle only removed support due to chromium removing it as well. Steam uses chromium in a few places so they likely figured ending support would be easier than creating a win 7 client with limited features.

        Sorry, I realized (by, you know, actually reading the article) and deleted my comment within like 40 seconds, but may not have deleted everywhere (or you had already started replying).

        Thanks.
