Lets face it though, we are just starting. Sighted stuff is way ahead of our stuff. We have only just started the dotnet course of games. There are still a few of us that use vb6, and autoit, or have just dropped said older things. We have only just started multiplayer support. We have only just got directx8 and 9 going, we havn't utilised all the ffb sticks, feadback stuff, only justed using mouse control, etc. The list goes on. We must also remember that all the sighted games require loads of power to run them. There are 2 reasons why we havn't gone to that extreme. Firstly there is the one tom mentioned, we can't possibly compete with sighted game companies. More importantly We don't have the funds to get better and better computers, software and other things. We can't say, this game requires 2gb ram, a 5.2ghz processer and 500gb of ram. We could but some of us would have issues getting the required stuff and a lot of us wouldn't be able to afford the upgrade. With the help of funding and such I have mannaged to get to where I am now. However although I have got a new dvd rom, extra flash sticks, hard drives, mice, gaming sticks and other things, my system specs are basically the same. The only thing that would get me to update is if the system exploded. There is a chance that I may just get another older system to replace it with or a system of the same type going cheap. I can't always aford the price. This doesn't facter into account, office apps, oses, screenreaders, etc. So as you can see its a bit hard to get always the best gaming thing.
