  Depending on the situation there may be even older hardware/windows in use.

  At my last job there was a windows 2000 computer still in use until like 2 years ago. None of the motherboard connections were still being made anymore. None of the drivers for the specialized devices existed for anything newer. The computer was air gapped and a replacement machine was commissioned, but it was still there doing its thing until the HDD failed.

  Yeah, even the “playable” tag i have to check what they mean by that. Psychonauts 1 and 2 are “playable” but both need you to manually pull up the keyboard and show xbox controls… Like okay? That’s all? They play perfectly.

  I also downloaded an indie game “tonight we riot” and its not even tested. Want to geuss how well it plays? Spoiler, perfectly fine.

  I’m genuinely greatful for steam personally pushing for more games to work well in linux even if the game needs a compatibility layer like Wine or proton.
