  • ah, wasn’t aware of that one. I never was a fan of Blizzard, back when they were in their hayday, I was mostly a console kid. I didn’t really get into pc games until late into XP era, and even then our family didn’t have that much money, so I rarely got new games… And when I was able to upgrade to a win7 machine, several years into its existence, Blizzard already had a somewhat tarnished reputation and I wasn’t really interested in their games anyway…





  • Or that use old machines because they work and their entire workflow is based on it. Like, I remember someone (might have been LGR… it was some retro computing youtuber at least) mention that they knew a print shop or something that was still using like win98 or 2000 for their entire production (as in, handling the printing, setting the size etc.) and maybe even the sales terminal…

    And I’ve read horror stories of places like machining shops running their cnc setup off of a win98 machine because the cnc router or whatever it’s called just won’t work over anything but parallel port, or that the software needed for that specific router doesn’t run on newer machines.
