No Win98 DOOM 3 [Jul 27, 2004, 9:23 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
In today's (unusually late) DOOM 3 newsbit, a post on
PlanetDOOM confirms from
Activision that DOOM 3 will not run under Windows 98 or Win98SE, but that
Windows XP or Windows 2000 will be required.
Also, looks as if BradM is another lawyer, haha.
Saying people won't use XP because they built their computer and there are licensing issues is BS. They're stealing 98 if they are jamming it on another machine, I find it hard to believe they feel it's wrong to steal XP as well.
Also, sure, assuming those 7% of HL machines could run Doom 3, the added cost of catering development to them would likely void the added revenues of the sales to them.
