Does it also affect SteamCMD?

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Probably not. The main culprit is probably the bundled, Chromium-based web renderer (CEF), not Steam itself.

Plenty of alternative stores that don't require a launcher, so still possible to sideload games and therefore, 7 and 8 are not quite dead yet. (side note, but Vista is still also a decent system for gaming)
