This article sounds like AI slop. Aren't the vast majority of games 32 bit applications and run just fine on 64 bit OSes? What on earth are they yappin' about? I've had a 64 bit OS since at least 2009. I've never had to use any sort of compatibility mode to launch a 32 bit program.

Further, are there genuinely a significant number of people running 32 bit Windows? I'm sure there are some, but I really wouldn't chalk it up to more than 5%. Certainly not more than 10%.

Sure, and I never had to manually use that. It just happened seamlessly. So what's this article talking about?
