To clarify: this has nothing to do with dropping support for 32bit hardware (that was already done, and didn't have a whole lot of impact).
Ubuntu is dropping support for MultiArch: the ability to run 32bit software on 64bit hardware. There are quite a few pieces of software that use 32bit libraries, including popular software like Valve's Steam (required for 32bit games) and WINE (required for running 32bit Windows applications, and most 64bit Windows applications since those will still use 32bit installers for compatibility).
By dropping this support, Ubuntu is effectively preventing users from running these on their computers unless they switch to a different distro. This is why WINE devs are "irked". There is no easy or practical solution to making WINE run 32bit Windows software without the necessary 32bit system libraries.
There's a reason no other distros are doing anything this extreme: there are still plenty of people who rely on 32bit software.

これをやられると辛いな
これUbuntuは自分の首を絞めていないか
Re: (スコア:1)
ですよね。
３２ビット切ってビルドに使うリソースを絞りたい気持ちはわかるんですけどね。
でも、世の中「３２ビット時代」が結構長かったので、特にゲームなんかだと３２ビットでビルドされたのしか無いものがかなりあるので、切ることは無理だと思います。

最低要件に64bi twindowsなどと書いてありますが
最近のゲームはメモリを馬鹿みたいに食う
しかもゲーム機のメモリが32bitOSの限界を超えているので64bit専用ゲームは当たり前
Re:betanews.comコメント欄より (スコア:4, すばらしい洞察)
だが、ちょっと待ってほしい。
64bit専用とうたっているゲームでもインストーラも64bitとは限らないとのこと。OSが32bit対応を打ち切るのは、まだまだ時期尚早ではないのかな。

一般的なアプリと違って、「ゲーム」ってものは過去の作品もプレイされるものなんだけどさ、昔買ったCD-ROMも自動的に64bitになるの？ならないよね？そういう事っしょ。

アーキテクチャ変更以外の理由で旧OSでしか動かなくなってるゲームなんて山ほどあるのにいちいち気にするかよ
