It's absolutely dog shit to cut off people who haven't upgraded for a while from their games.

I believe there is a legacy version of steam that can run on older OSs and download older versions of steam games, but it has to be run through a command line. A youtuber I watch that likes to install steam on ancient hardware that was never meant to play games uses it often.

Is this referring to SteamCMD? That's a command line steam downloader typically used to install dedicated server software, I use it a lot on my server for things like Valheim, Conan, Empyrion, etc.

Probably, I've seen it used to download steam software onto older, no-longer-supported machines.
