Rockstar Games have ended support for Windows 7 and 8 across their titles. The company announced this decision back in October 2023 but has come into effect as of Tuesday 30th January.
It was updated. It wasn’t yanked away, it still works fine on modern OS’s. It’s silly to assume devs will continue targeting an OS that is out of support and irrelevant. Do you expect it to run on DOS too?
Nevermind that as long as your OS works for gaming
It doesn’t, lmao. That’s what this article is about. Also, if your unsupported OS gets compromised and integrated into a botnet, now your dumb preference is everyone’s problem. You’re the technological equivalent of an anti-vaxxer.
the last properly good version of Windows
8 and 8.1 were significantly more stable and performant than 7 and did not include the ads or spyware that is in 10. They failed because babies didn’t like the way they looked and threw a tantrum about it instead of just installing classicshell.
Cons outweighing the pros doesn’t magically mean there are no pros.
The only pro you’ve mentioned is “I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT”. Rockstar doesn’t give a shit what you want. They want to stop wasting their devs’ time accommodating a dead platform.
Running an unsupported OS on the public internet is like refusing the covid vaccine and going to work with a fever. Would you listen to someone who does that? I wouldn’t, because any justification they come up with is going to be pants on head stupid.

You’re not listening and you’re not being honest.

And that means this game didn’t work last week.
