GameTap Signs THQ Games: Company of Heroes, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Titan Quest, More
The agreement will see the addition of such THQ-published PC titles as Relic Entertainment's Company of Heroes, Gas Powered Games' Supreme Commander, Iron Lore Entertainment's Titan Quest and GSC Gameworld's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl to the service, among others.
Those players who don't shell out the $9.95 per month for the "Gold"-level GameTap subscription can also expect a number of THQ titles to be available from the service's free-to-play catalog, which requires 15 second video advertisement to air before each play. GameTap did not specify which THQ titles will be free.
The games are expected to appear on GameTap before the end of the summer.

I've played both Company of Heroes and Supreme Commander on my XP64 OS.

But you obviously haven't used Gametap on your XP64 OS

That isn't their official response at all.
Their official response is that they'd like to see it happen (And why wouldn't they? It would mean more customers.), it just isn't progressing as fast as they'd like.
Much like their international plans.-

There are two posts by a staff member (an actual dev) in their 64-bit thread, and neither of them say that.
Post 1:
"It is a safe bet that GameTap's encryption will eventually move towards 64-bit, especially if the market requires us to do so. If we could snap our fingers and make it happen, then we would do that, because honestly we want this program to work with every setup available on the market.
GameTap is not reluctant to upgrade to 64-bit, but the technology behind our application has to be upgraded to make this happen and that takes time. For those on the bleeding edge of technology (64-bit Os), you should be familiar with the restrictions that come with breaking the sound barrier.
Sorry we haven't been able to make this work for you yet. Please continue to post to these boards if you are in the 64-bit OS category because this will help us gauge the importance of the upgrade (Not to be confused with 64-bit processors)."
Post 2:
"The app works fine on 64-bit, its the encryption scheme for the games on Windows that doesn't work. We are actively pursuing 64-bit windows compat so don't worry, eventually it will happen."
I'm not saying they aren't taking their sweet damned time about it (you'd think they'd have enough pull to whip Exent into gear, but I guess not), just saying they DO want it, despite what everyone seems to think.
