Speedrunners often use older versions of games for certain runs, but without access to these in the future, those specific runs would effectively come to an end.
Many in the community were concerned about this, especially those who are from the speedrunning community.
Recently, there were some concerns that users would lose access to older version of games, but the company has come forward to say that this won't be happening.Ī week ago, it was spotted in the beta client that Steam may disable older iterations of titles going forward. However, it does sometimes do things which upsets a lot of people. It's a testament to how vital the service is to the PC gaming market. At the beginning of 2021, the Valve client broke its concurrent player record, with a peak of 26.4 million gamers. To say that Steam is the global dominant face of PC gaming is perhaps an apt description.
