Hi Charles, If we were talking about financially speaking I would be in a much worse situation, but I think we know by now developing audio games is not and never has been about the money for me. I primarily write games for myself first and for the community second. So from that perspective writing games for a more modern operating system has its advantages for me personally because everything I write will be compatible with what I am using and is made according to the specifications I want or need at the time. It makes little sense to write something for an operating system that I will never use or support myself unless I am solely interested in the money which I am not.
Besides I think your logic is a bit flawed. You said that a lot of gamers can not take advantage of more modern tools and operating systems. I believe it is more a case of won't than can't. I have seen my fair share of inexpensive computers under $300 with Windows 7 on them, and I know that many people on SSI should be able to save up and afford that if they wanted to. Many don't want to so won't upgrade rather than can't upgrade/. At least that is just my opinion. Cheers!
