Not to mention the fact that, in trying to develop their own games, said people might gain some more respect for what James and the rest of you guys do. They might realise just how much work it really does take and that it's not something you can just dash off. Hell I'm quickly developing that respect just thinking about how much work it must take to make these games! I've been sort of making inquiries into what's involved in programming because I've occasionally considered taking a stab at it myself, please don't laugh, and I'm absolutley staggered by the skill, time, dedication and just downright work that it must take to creat these products. So as he said. Go try it. And if it's that easy, do tell.
Oh! and $45 isn't at all outrageous for a game. A sighted friend of mine just recently paid $50 for a console game which, uh, in my humble opinion, didn't sound nearly as interesting as the game James is offering. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ken downey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 1:37 AM Subject: Re: audyssey: alchemy game studios update > People just need to drop the spoiled brattiness that has marred this > community for the past few years.
