Quoting: Brandonmccoub2I am a bit lost on why they skipped 475, 480 or even 490 for the next version number though.
I see that Windows has versions 471 & 472, but I've no idea where the other numbers have gone :-)

Fallout 3 removes Games for Windows Live, works well on Linux with Proton

Quoting: ArehandoroWithout Goldberg Emulator after a giving time you wouldn't be able to log in to Steam, and not all games work directly with the executable without Steam. Not counting all the features integrated that games have that rely on Steam.
I was responding to your assertion that the games "would not work". Goldberg Emulator doesn't let you log into Steam, but it allows you to run Steam games either offline or (in some cases) multiplayer.

My point was that as long as your games are downloaded, most will work just fine with a bit of tinkering. Yes, you will not have the social features of Steam or be able to make any further downloads, but at least you can still play the games you have installed.

Quoting: ArehandoroNo different to the fact that if Steam were to go bust all our games would not work either, not downloadable.
Assuming that you have many of your games already downloaded, they will still work just fine (except some Feral titles). Some may require the Goldberg emulator to run but that's about it.
