Officially no for Windows 7 compatibility?

We don't know yet. Hopefully it's compatible. I'd rather use Linux and deal with every trouble that comes with it than use microsoft's latest trash spyware.

Yep... Eventually people will have to accept that they have to move on from Windows 7, especially since Microsoft have all but abandoned all support for it...

It's the same dumb mentality when people clung to XP, it's just delusional why would devs especially ones doing early access waste time supporting a dead OS

It would be a safe bet to upgrade to the newest Operating systems, you are more or less running into a skeleton at this point, not saying we demand you to adjust, but you do need to start looking at it from the other point of view. Windows 7 has no support, it's more or less been abandoned due to the newer versions, and I'd also say any security and such is also more or less scrapped.

I am not saying there is no support for Windows 7 for this game, but I am saying, don't get your hopes up that Slavic will do one either, so. Let's just see what he says.

Windows 10 is never a safe bet. I respect the people who stay at Windows 7 and below. The only sensible progression from WIndows 7 isn't WIndows 10. It's Linux.

Rubbish... Absolute rubbish...

Linux still lacks alot of support, with many games not running on Linux, period... Not to mention that it often requires a fair understanding of computers to configure and and get hardware running, making it far from an ideal "progression" from Windows 7 for most people...

The settings people get worked up over can practically all be turned off, leaving it no worse than previous versions of Windows for monitoring user activity...

And then there's the fact the same people who usually piss and moan about Windows 10 breaching their privacy are more than happy to share every minute detail of their existence on Facebook, Twitter, and so on, as well as like and share all the random ♥♥♥♥ they see from other people...

Believe me, Windows 10 is far from the worst invasion of privacy into people's lives today, and the irony is people give away the information freely, without corporations needing to pull shifty crap to get it...

It's possible to make a win 7 build, but I try to tackle one problem at a time, not to get overwhelmed by the scope of the production which could easily crush me. In time I hope I can get it done.

It would be so much more easier if this was based on more cross-platform APIs so that you could support more operating systems easily.

Yeah, and damn the optimisation, right?

Why not throw in support for Windows 98 while we're at it? I'm sure someone's still using that, somewhere?

Why not WIndows 98? Windows 98 is a blatantly outdated Operating System. Linux is an up and comer. Not that what I said is going to satisfy you, because obviously you only want the currently popular operating system to be supported so that anyone who insists on using anything else to either be excluded from playing this game or forced to switch to the aforementioned popular OS.

Warning! Warning! Straman argument detected! Warning!

First of all, you clearly don't get sarcasm...

Secondly, suggesting I only want people to use Windows 10 is frikken stupid... What? Are you trying to suggest I'm some Microsoft shill? *facepalm* Such a moronic suggestion...

No, my entire position is that developers should not be required to cater to fringe, and obsolete OS's, just to satisfy the special snowflakes who insist on using them, making utterly hypocritical and flawed privacy concern arguments to justify doing so...

If a games developer wants to invest the resources to support a small minority of PC users then that's entirely their perogative, but people who decide to use a fringe, or an obsolete OS should not expect, let alone demand support from games developers...

What I want is people like you to stop being so bloody entitled that they demand games developers legitimise your decision by supporting, what is nothing but a fringe OS of your choosing, simply because you want to be some special snowflake standing upto Microsoft...

I want people to understand that making games is no simple feat, and for every new OS supported, alot of additional work has to be done during development, along with post-release support, work that then detracts from the rest of the game -- especially when it's an indie developer -- simply because someone wants to be a special snowflake...

I would entirely understand if Indie developers don't bother supporting Mac, let alone Linux, for this very reason... This has nothing to do with me wanting people to use Windows 10, as your ludicrous strawman argument suggested, but simply because I understand that the effort is hardly worth the potential sales return for many developers, and thus, the game as a whole would potentially suffer for little gain...

EDIT :

As a point, according to Steam's own stats, Linux is LESS THAN 1% of the playerbase at 0.94%...

With Windows 7 being all of 4.7% of the player base...
