    Eh, that’s not really true. Games from decades ago still have a good chance to play fine on modern Windows because Microsoft cares about backwards compatibility. That’s like one of the main appeals of Win32.

    I don’t think there’s a problem with deprecating and removing APIs like Apple does in principle but if you combine non-free/proprietary focused ecosystem with that, like they also do, it’s a software preservation disaster.
