Rockstar Games have ended support for Windows 7 and 8 across their titles. The company announced this decision back in October 2023 but has come into effect as of Tuesday 30th January.
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.

You can move off of 7 easily, for free, you wouldn’t be giving up any functionality you can’t get elsewhere, in fact you’d be gaining some, and your machine is a lot less likely to get compromised and used to send me spam.
There are no reasons whatsoever. Well, other than “I WANT IT I WANT IT”. You have a lot of nerve expecting me to respect that, and even more nerve expecting a game company to spend time and money accommodating it. You are a baby. Maybe it sounds condescending, maybe it is, but it’s also true.
And that means this game didn’t work last week.
