a "news flash" that SOE's upcoming MMORPG remake EverQuest Next will not
support 32-bit operating systems: "Another News Flash: Landmark is going to have
to be a 64-bit OS game *only*. We are going to be unable to support 32-bit OS as
we had hoped." Thanks

Customer wise, they are cutting their own throat. It boggles the mind at how epically ****** SOE can be, at least half their customers use 32 bit OS. Only a minority computer professionals and gamers use 64 bit.
Half their customers? Where did you get that number from? According to the recent Steam Hardware and Software survey 21% of Windows users run a 32 bit OS. 74% are running 64 bit.
Also remember that this game is being released for the PS4, so they probably came to the conclusion that the 21% of PC gamers isn't enough to change their technology to accommodate them. In the next few years that 21% will likely dwindle to a point that all games will be developed for 64 bit OS.
