Isn't there some tech valley reason 32bit is being dropped? I read something somewhere, the tech world is dropping support of 32bit machines for lots of stuff. I think it's across the board isn't it? Sorry, I didn't retain what I read so I can't explain it. Another question is, will they continue to support Windows 7 after MS drops support for it next year? Isn't that just as important? I mean how can you continue to release content 'Years Out' when MS doesn't support an OS anymore? That would be odd, too.
Yes - more or less all companies are dropping 32 bit and in fact many already did drop support of it - I know you can no longer get updates of 32 bit video card drivers and most 32 bit motherboard are no longer updated. Big Game studios have dropped 32 bit games period - EA is one the last big game studios to drop it as most others already did drop it.
