True,
There is always other things to consider but there?s nothing wrong with
standing up and just saying, ?Ya know what? ?I?m not impressed by what?s on
offer?. Without being berated or giving a lesson in economics.
Personally I don?t? care how long it takes for a dev to come out with this
or that. Why? For the exact same reason none of us care when it?s Screen
Readers up for discussions or the many other adaptive tech we talk about and
complain about low-quality high-price.
This is part of our problem accepting crumbs in the VI community and lack of
consistency in what we will accept and won?t accept.
The gaming areana is no different. Why can?t a bunch of VI game Devs get
together, form a company and take a gamble? Chuck a bunch of capital to
high the best devs they can, make an awesome multi-player,
multi-dimensional, online capable game, charge £50 for it and wack in a bit
of DRM to ensure it?s not copied.
This is the only area I would actually support DRM to an extent because it
is a smaller market and it is a market where I believe it would truly hurt
the devs and not just the high rankers pockets for it to be passed from
blink to blink without being paid for.
I?m sorry folks but I refuse to be a hipocrit by saying the poor VI Game
Devs whilst jeering at the other areas of the Adaptive industry.
Barry.

Exactly Peter, and another thing I forgot, for me games are more fun when
played on a tv games console system. The other problems I forgot to mention
about the blind games is very few are multiplayer. They're mostly not the
sort of games you can sit around playing with your friends. And of course
the last problem is the cycle between releases, new stuff just takes so long
to get out there. I know we've had a few in the past months, but for quite a
long time the market just stayed still. As Peter says, not criticising the
developers, limited resources and stuff, but blind games absolutely can't be
compared to the coolness of normal ones.
