This software is not 64 bit yet according to libertyforall1776! It's the end of the world! It's 2012!! GAME OVER MAN!!! What shall we do?

Frankly libertyforall1776 it will be released for 64 bit when the developer thinks it makes fiscal sense and not one day before that. Why not give us all a rest please!
