The list of games is null and void, as Steam itself will go dark in a couple of weeks.

Citation needed please.
(TY for link) @Noot_Dnilb
Please back up your claim with any appropriate link. Preferably from Steam.
Ty. Could you actually format that for more people than just me? Remember to always cite your sources so they are easy to find! 
Usually, the link text is sufficient because formatting the URL to âHere you goâ is not great.
It wouldnât have helped because chromium support for Windows 7 was discontinued almost a year ago. They were far smarter about supporting windows 7 than CCP was.
There are also other better alternatives to eve anywhere - not that those are any more likely to run on windows 7 for much longer either.

its about time. I wonder how much more development could have been done had Windows 7 not been supported at any point during the last 3 years

It will still work on linux?
At the moment, the client crashes on wine 8.0.2-stable. The launcher works fine, but the client not so much.
When I have time, Iâll do a clean install and re-check.
Regarding win11 - if you havenât read the new October '23 EULA, you really should read what the micro-police is allowing themselves to do to you and your computer. I wouldnât want to agree on that.
Maybe a class-action suit will make them come to their senses.

Yes, EVE is working usually well on Linux. The easiest way is to use it via Steam after enabling experimental mode.

If EVE online hadnt changed much the last 15 years, it would probably have been better off.
I mean the PC game market is changing. It used to be that people bought a new game, played it for a week, then bought a new game. This is still a thing. But also are âstableâ games that people return to.
If EVE online hadnt changed much then it would still be accesible via âold hardwareâ and for people who do not spend thousands of dollars on a new PC every other year. This market is increasing btw. And the market for expensive 3D graphic PCs is shrinking imo. So âold gamesâ will become the games that people continue to play. And the ones that thought they had to change something every 3 months are the ones people will slowly stop playing Quality > Quantiy. CCP mega blunder by making a game that can only be run on a specfic operating system and run well with high end hardware. Not a company that develops games for the people. Thats for sure

Wrong way lol.
You seen the corpse that is Star Trek Online?
These huge developers way bigger than CCP and the MMO market are going to be pushing for newer graphics cards, newer setups, and more.
Games are only going to get harder to run, LARGER in size, and more expensive. Cities Skylines 2 for example is 50gb download. 
Starfield is apparently 125gb in size. The industry is going forward with these kinds of games. It is CCPâs job to stay at the bleeding edge of the competition. Cutting support for Windows 7/8 frees up more dev hours to support other newer platforms.

Blockchain-tech based game, most likely. They somewhat dodged the bullet with NFT infestation, like year ago, to now play cat and mouse with blockchain. WellâŚ
I will leave the speculation to your department.

Fanfest is over unless you mean 2024 lol
Iâm using Windows 7 not because I canât upgrade, but because Windows 10 does not have features Windows 7 has. (Namely shell customization.)

EVE is certainly not worth upgrading to 10 over. Itâs an easy choice for me. If I wanted an OS designed with backdoors to spy on me Iâd be using a smartphone. Bye

Considering (AFAIK) 10 will be discontinued in a couple of years as well I guess if anything it should be 11 (well I hear it is even worse so just in theory). Anyway just thought I drop it in for your consideration in case you think about upgrading.
