You care about support to IE7, a browser with 0.55% of market share (hell, according to
this site IE6 has more users)? It seems you use Google Analytics, how many people with IE 6/7 or old versions of other browsers played your game?
Even if you did get some people using IE6 maybe you should stop supporting it altogether so those government employees get to work.

Is this a joke? Your games don't have complex calculations. We've had javascript game engines with physics for at least 6 years, that's plenty old, how could you possibly think those browsers couldn't handle your arrays and "complex" calculations.
I almost forgot all the other date games other people have made before you that ran just fine on my crappy laptop years ago.
You don't have to make up excuses. Databases is what you know best and it works as DRM, that's all.

It doesn't matter, it's a distraction from the argument, assume either way and you'll see how irrelevant it is. I'd link you a video where Louis Theroux refuses to answer a Neo-Nazi's question for similar reasons but it was taken down because of copyright...
If you really need to know many artists and intellectuals share the same view.

You're the one who made the decision, you're the best source for why it is better. I'd rather discuss directly with you than with what I might find through google.

Well, that's it then, you yourself say it's likely wrong. I got nothing to say.
