But this isn’t the formula for all games. While we might agree that games from 2000 or even 2010 are “showing their age”, at this point 5 to 8-year-old games are less and less likely to be seen as ‘too old’ by comparison to hot releases.
As someone that grew up in the '80s and '90s, it’s wild how much different the pace of change in games was then compared to now.
In 1991 I was playing NES games and 256-color VGA MS-DOS games, in 1998 I was playing Half-Life. Every single thing about the experience of video games changed in that span.
In 2017 I was playing Breath of the Wild, in 2024 I’m playing more or less the same game in Tears of the Kingdom.
You’re correct, the other commenter missed the “2 computers” part of your comment.
You can run multiple Steam games at the same time on the same PC, but not on different PCs.
That is, unless you take advantage of Steam’s “offline” mode. If you launch Steam in offline mode on the secondary computer, you’ll be able to play already-downloaded Steam games on that PC, while still being free to play Steam games normally on the primary computer.
