Despite the fact that XP is old.

I actually agree with this.

sergtomas: I know I'm a minority but some of us still may have either XP or Vista machines for playing old games or just a dedicated PC for playing, and I have noticed that some releases aren't providing the exact info about the OS where a game can be run.

For sure there are more published games than not, since 2014(?) on, that cannot run in something older than Win 7 or that they need 64-bit OS but there are other games which can and they should be updated in the site. This is particularly important since GOG offers a search filter by OS.

For example Into the Breach is able to run in Vista but I had to look at St...(not to be mentioned) and even to the info of the devs. I have seen the release of Shivers -a 1995 game- which has as minimum requirements 7,8,10 and I suspect that it can run even on XP. Cultist Simulator can run on XP and later (except Vista as said by the developers). Probably there will be more examples. I don't want or need to look at the dev site in order to make a decision about a sale but it should be enough at the GOG site.

Please GOG, don't be lazy with the info on compatibility and provide the right one.
They can't verify games working on systems they can't test on. So your request is unreasonable because they have no way to test that it works on Vista or XP.

MarkoH01: I am pretty sure that in one of those past threads about XP compatibility it has been said by a blue/support that GOG does not even have a XP machine in their offices anymore to test those games for XP compatibility.

I wrote it this way first and corrected myself ... dang!
But have mercy on me since I only had English in school and was not even good at it. I am always happy that people even do understand what I want to say :)

Sorry it's just a pet peeve of mine. When people say "a egg" ... ugh! it's like nails down a chalkboard to me.

No problem. Usually I know this and I can feel when it is incorrect as well. For whatever reason I did it wrong here. It's o.k. that you corrected me.
