Steam didn't refund any of the cost of the games their DRM rendered inoperable on my Windows 7 PC. They happily took my money 1 week before dropping support.
That's on you. They extended support to that legacy os far beyond it being end of life.
This is important information they left out, but it could have happened while 7 was still supported by MS.
True
If you're hanging onto windows 7 because your computer isn't suitable for later versions, I suggest you move to Linux so as to be on a modern reasonably secure operating system. Windows 7 machines are becoming too likely to be part of a bot farm
You can run steam on Linux
