    From my anecdotal experience (and this was from 3-4 years), the last remaining 32-bit Windows installations are on much newer CPUs (from 2009-2014) than the last 32-bit only CPUs from 2004 or so.

    Typically there are cases where the users aren’t technically inclined, they just need a basic web browser, a video player and a PDF reader. They have a computer that works, so why bother with paying money for a new one?

    Typically users of Steam would figure out that they do have a 64-bit capable CPU, they would buy some RAM and re-install Windows (or find someone who can do this for them).
