Microsoft released XP in August 2001, over 16 years ago, and stopped supporting/updating 3 years ago. Since then Microsoft has released Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.
How long should SDE keep supporting an outdated operating system that is not supported by the manufacturer?
Better yet, How do you think it is even possible to make code compatiable between 6 different operating systems and have them work flawlessly?
I sympathize with those who cannot afford to purchase a "new" computer/operating system, but you can't blame SDE...you can't "please" a small segment of the player base and have a negative impact on the rest.
With that said, I don't have any confidence that this game will ever be "crash free". How many times have you heard, "We are working on Bug/crash fixes" and will soon patch a fix? Only to have a new batch of bug/crashes. Every group has "tried" to fix something only to fail.
Don't expect this group to be any better, but if removing support for XP users makes it better for the majority, then so be it.
