Steam DRM is actually optional for devs, and even if it isn't, it's (allegedly) very easy to get around. If you download your games onto a new PC, you may be able to just copy the files over to the old one and launch them directly. Even if you have to crack the DRM, it's at the very least morally OK. It's more work, but that's life when using old hardware. I don't think it's reasonable to expect a software provider to support old hardware/OSes forever.

>I don't think it's reasonable to expect a software provider to support old hardware/OSes forever. I agree, but the hypocrisy is that old games might not work on the new OS that Steam client requires. So if you upgrade to a new machine to play your old game you might not be able to play it.
