    Why are you building and distributing a 32 bit client? There's absolutely no way anyone can play using that client. When I first log in at my house, the client takes 6.5 GB straight out of the box. A 32 bit process can't even dream about addressing that much memory, so why have it?

    It does seem the logical to 'move on' like the rest of us but there are always minority OS users out there.

    It doesn't matter if someone uses a 32 bit OS. They couldn't actually load and play SotA.

    It's just an artifact of the build process for Linux at this point. It doesn't take us any extra time to build or anything. I'll see about removing it.
