I know I said I was done, but have to address one more thing… Seriously folks…this conversation has devolved to trying to say that the $75 is wasted when Microsoft inevitably upgrades beyond the point where the games will run In that case, why ever buy any game ever? It won't run someday…it's just a matter of time.
That aside, the games work through Windows 7 as far as I am aware…perhaps Windows 8. How many of you are still on Windows XP? Just because Microsoft stops supporting some of this stuff, doesn't mean you're all running out and getting a new computer. The visually impaired community only moves on to the next version of the OS begrudgingly, and usually long after much of the mainstream world has moved on. This is a problem that won't effect most of you for another 5 to 10 years or more if the community's past tendencies don't change radically. Are you seriously saying that $75 is too much to pay for a decades worth of continued enjoyment? Just trying to put this thing into perspective. Saying that the $75 is "straight down the toilet" as Brian put it, if Microsoft's next Window sup date doesn't support these games, is hyperbole to the extreme. :) On Apr 18, 2013, at 6:43 PM, Bryan Peterson <[email protected]> wrote: > The problem is I think the wording in Justin's message may have confused most > of us, me included.
