The games we've bought run fine on these systems. Personally, I am not saying that Valve doesn't have the right to drop support for Mavericks and Yosemite, I am saying that they shouldn't do it because it is completely unnecessary. Some *may* be able to get a refund for purchases that were made within the last couple of months (and made before the warning appeared), at best. But consumer laws do not provide for extensive remedies. They are basing their support decisions on the number of users, not the age, of the operating systems.Īs others have noted, EULAs are not enforceable over consumer laws.

Steam will continue to support Windows 7, which was released in 2009. No, it's not the same with Windows XP because that OS actually is ancient.

Even my ten year old PC can run a current OS. It's time to move on to something less ancient. It's not like older Macs are the only ones affected.

Language has meaning and if you hope to understand that meaning, you must place it in its proper context. It is protecting itself from hijacking and/or human error. Simply that Valve or the Game Developers can not garuntee Steam, its games, your account or services may be secure, error-free or virus-free continuously.
It has nothing to do with one's access to their games nor does it state that Valve may terminate service or access. When it comes to this "NO GARUNTEE" clause. In fact, due to their pages long lengths, courts have rejected terms on the basis that the company assumed most people would not read them. EULA validity is determined on a case to case basis and is not generally accepted or rejected. There have been many cases where EULAs infringed on the rights of the individual and were thrown out in court. Even my ten year old PC can run a current OS.ĮULAs are filled with legalize, that in many instances, is simply desigend to negate responsibility or liability on the company. Originally posted by Cathulhu: You were never guaranteed to always have access to your account or games. We are simply asking that we may retain access to our current games library. We do not need all the bells and whistles that will come from a newer version of Steam. By stating "Steam Will Stop Running" or "Steam will stop supporting" it means Valve is denying us access to our purchases. Please, we legally purchased these games, they work on our respective Mac OS Versions and are advertised as such.
#BEST MAC OS X GAMES ON STEAM UPGRADE#
We have elected not to upgrade as these programs are used regularly as part of one's work, hobby or leisure. Newer versions of MacOS have changed or stripped features that are essential to these programs. Many of us are not able to upgrade to a newer MacOS Version as it will cause some of our programs to not function properly or at all. Losing access to our Steam Games Library is an issue affecting many Mac Steam Users, and we are looking for answers. In addition, future versions of Steam will require macOS feature and security updates only present in macOS 10.11 ("El Capitan") and above. The newest features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of macOS.
#BEST MAC OS X GAMES ON STEAM UPDATE#
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of macOS. This means that after that date the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of macOS. Originally posted by Valve: Starting on January 1 2019, Steam will officially stop supporting macOS versions 10.7 ("Lion"), 10.8 ("Mountain Lion"), 10.9 ("Mavericks") and 10.10 ("Yosemite").
