Additional notes:
It was reported that 2.5.0 was the most recent release to work on Windows 7 and 8, so a new legacy branch was added for Steam users who are on these older OSes. Newer versions of the game can be played on the web:
Release branch: https://bitburner-official.github.io/
Development branch: https://bitburner-official.github.io/bitburner-src/
The Development version (available on the Steam development branch or via the web link above) contains a new IPvGO mechanic and a new BN14 that revolves around this mechanic. This will be officially released in the next game release version 2.6.0.
