If the gamers hadn't created a market, the commodity cards that make open-gl applications like Axis possible would be over $1000. And, to an extent, gamers and the wide use of home and office computers have all made our computers vastly cheaper than otherwise. EMC, the original one, started out on Sun workstations that cost $50K each.
