Running an unsupported OS on the public internet is like refusing the covid vaccine and going to work with a fever. Would you listen to someone who does that? I wouldn't, because any justification they come up with is going to be pants on head stupid.

And that means this game didn't work last week.

Game works fine if you're on an OS from the last decade

Yes.

It did.

It could still, same as it does right now. The downsides of running that OS do not change this fact.

Until just recently, it was obviously feasible to use Windows 7 for this modern game. Unlike MS-DOS. Unlike your insulting dismissal, pretending 'waah I want it' is anyone's argument here. Because apparently you can't deal with the difference between 'the reasons aren't good enough' and 'there are no reasons whatsoever,' so you just call people babies.
