@EA_Barry , Thanks my friend i did see that clearly . I was asking in sarcastic way to be honest. I know windows 7 is at its end of support come January but numbers show there is still enough people using windows 7 at this point that i cant see or understand the purpose of making it Windows 10 only right now. 30 percent of a huge minority is still a large customer base that just got thrown out the window. I have been looking at upcoming triple A games PC requirements and they list 7 as supported. Doom eternal, RDR2 and more so not sure what the deal is here with Heat. Like i said it is a large customers base that just got thrown out IMO. Peace.

Look i see it like this , its a big enough world that a gamer can have more then one game right. Having The Crew 2 and Heat isn't a crime right lol. 😛
Pick up the season pass edition of TC2 and i can assure you , you wont look back.
I hear you man i was dead set against buying a NFS game after the mess that was payback. Awhile ago when i was a real fan of the series i defended payback on here the best i could until even the fan boy in me had to come to terms that it was as bad as it was. So hearing about heat i just rolled my eyes and said nope. Then i started seeing some good words about it and even like a few of the things i saw. Sadly as it always has to be with EA they have to include some BS in every game that sours the good. Reading about all the issues you all are having here and the fact that windows 7 was abandon just proved to myself i was right. It is a crap feeling brother but i have moved on and found better things and fell better in the process. So yeah i understand where you are coming from. Take a chance on TC2 and maybe you and i can take a actual hour road trip across America in our car, truck, monster truck , boat, hover craft , planes and on our dirt bike , motor cycle , hover craft and more together.Cheers my friend.
