Windows 7 needs to be supported

[Mordeth Kai]

If it don't run on windows 7 I aint buying. I'd rather take a sledgehammer to my nuts than run windows 10, so no, I'm not downgrading to 10 for a game.

When the best argument anyone has for 10 is "YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE" that tells you everything you need to know.

As someone who works for a major video game company, I can definitely tell you that Win 7 is pretty much being dropped everywhere. Even windows 8 is generally a low-priority concern now for compatibility. This all shifts even moreso with windows 11 available, and will continue to move away from supporting older OSes from there.

Up/down grade to linux then

I've got bad news for you:

Having an unsupported OS like Windows 7 is a downgrade from Windows 10

Windows 10 haves it downsides but most of them can be turned off

Sucks you have to break into the registry just to do it effectively though. I've been meaning to look into Linux these days. Need to set some time aside to get used to its OS.

You mean 'open' the registry? It's not exactly locked behind anything. You're supposed to be able to change it. Most people just don't know how without breaking something.

When the mess that was ME hit they released XP, when the mess that was Vista hit they released 7, but when the colossal disaster that was 10 got released they doubled down, and 11 is looking to be even worse. Unless anti-trust laws start getting enforced linux may be the only reasonable choice left.

No amount of 'unsupported' will make 10 any less ♥♥♥♥

Guess you just won't get to play the game then. Sucks to suck.

Windows 7 shills can go home, my Win 3.1 has all the features it needs, without the Telemetry that later versions added - including windows 7.

I don't think you know what a shill actually is and you just heard a buzzword once to throw around. Have fun as more and more modern games won't support outdated software anymore I guess. I'll be over here enjoying Rise on both platforms because unlike you my OS actually supports it lol.

I mean why can't we play this game on windows xp? Or even the gameboy? I mean I don’t want to upgrade to a switch if I have a perfectly good gameboy where I play a bunch of good games there.

If this game doesn’t release on windows xp or the game boy I won't be buying it then. I mean no ♥♥♥♥, if it doesn’t run on the platform you have why would you buy it?

I didn't like 10 at first. Got used to it on my work machines, and upgraded once the pandemic started to work from home.

It's made literally no difference. There's a tiny handful of annoyances that you adapt to and fix within the first few days, and after that it's like nothing changed.
