It may or may not work with FGC - but the updater wont download it and install it for FGC.

Ah, so you wanted a technical reason, rather than what functionally will happen. Glad @damned gave you the answer you were looking for. Either way, just in case others reading this aren't clear on this, my statement is 100% accurate and is what will functionally happen after June 24th.

Wow - gently there. I REALLY like FG and there are 'many' players who use it now because of me. However, your comment here, may well come over as a little harsh. To reference that "... this is probably not a main concern for you at the moment if you are out of work.", is actually rubbish. In work or out of work is not an issue - do you think that just because a person is out of work would not mean for example, that someone might buy them a new module as a gift??
In truth, I understand why you are making the change to Unity - let's be honest, it is likely not 'all' about functionality, it is a lot about money. And that's fine - you are doing a great job and deserve to be rewarded for the excellent work you do. I don't have a problem, but I don't need or want the changes you are making at all - I have both versions, but rarely use Unity. Classic is still better in many ways.
Please ensure that even without updates, you keep classic functioning. I am concerned that none of the new modules will fucntion under Classic - that might in the future, become a game changer for me, depending on how quickly the hassles of unity are sorted out.

The Classic game engine will not run on Mac, it's support on Linux is poor, and it does not do 64bit Windows well at all.
It is a technical issue first and foremost.
Microsoft doesn't support the hundreds of millions of Win7 installations out there any more. Technology is always running into obsolescence.
Despite all the magic users around Classic is on life support only. There is no cure for the limitations in the game engine.

The comment about out of work was in reference to not spending money that you don't have. There was nothing snide or demeaning in the comment.
Classic will work as long as the group is running the right operating systems and as long as no OS updates break it on those.
