    This is outrageous! It’s unfair!

  5. But I just got my copy of win 95 like last week, the fuck, M$ need to sort there shit out.

  6. Well, time to upgrade to Windows Me I guess…

    I’m still waiting for Windows 98 to finish shutting down.

  12. Moist-Chip3793

    I’ll never going to downgrade my perfectly fine PC to windows XP, these artificial requirements will just create e-waste, government should intervene

    Could you guys PLEASE optimize your games? How fucking lazy can triple A studio get nowadays?

    How about my Samsung smart fridge?

  16. Don’t care; it will run perfectly on my machine if I play at 800×600 with everything at sub-low and 20 fps, as it was intended by the developers. My 15-year-old card is definitely still very capable of “playing” modern games. The problem is the optimization.

    Somebody’s definitely gonna make it a challenge and try to get GTA-VI running on like Windows 7.

    There’s stuff like KernelEx and OpenCore for running newer apps on older versions of windows (KernelEX for running 2000/XP apps on 98, OpenCore for running 7 and later apps on XP), I recall there being a similar thing being made for Windows 7 but I can’t remember the name of it.

    I could see Win 7 maybe being possible since it brought in the modern driver system that 10 and 11’s is built on.

    People have managed to run modern versions of Minecraft Java Edition on 98, and OpenCore lets you run Steam and modern browsers on XP. I’d assume the biggest problem would be graphics drivers and DirectX/Vulkan since the cards that would be powerful enough (even just barely) to run the game would only have drivers for 10/11+ (no idea if they could force-installed or “hacked” to work on 7).

    For all we know, somebody could end up getting the PS5 version to run on Linux via a compatibility layer before we even get a PC version announcement like 2-5 years after launch.
